.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will exit to the east today. A cold front will
approach tonight and cross the area Sunday. High pressure will build
over the region Monday into Tuesday then slide east of the area
Wednesday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
High pressure over the area will slide to the east today. The return
flow behind the high will work with a weak upper level disturbance
to bring a partly to mostly cloudy sky over the north while Downeast
remains partly sunny. Temperatures will make a run for 70 as the
return flow ushers in some slightly warmer air.
High pressure will continue away to the east tonight as a cold front
begins to approach from the north. This will bring a partly cloudy
and milder night tonight with lows from the mid 40s north to near 50
Downeast.
An upper level shortwave trough dropping south from Quebec will
slide by to our northeast on Sunday as high pressure approaching
from Hudson Bay pushes a cold front through. The upper trough and
cold front may bring some light spotty showers over the north around
midday, and Downeast later in the afternoon. Moisture is very sparse
so any showers will likely be light and brief. Otherwise, the
sky will be partly cloudy with high temperatures once again
ranging from the mid to upper 60s north to the low 70s Downeast.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Axis of upr lvl trof will be dropping over the waters Sunday evening
with showers winding down. Skies will begin to clear from north to
south with fropa. With winds decoupling acrs the north mins look to
drop into the lower 40s in the North Woods. An extended period of
dry weather will begin Sunday night. Maxes on Monday expected to be
near normal while lows Monday night should be just below normal.
Upper level low looks to close off over the southeast Sunday night
into Monday, leaving CWA in between the active northern stream over
nrn Canada and the closed low to our south.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Broad hipres will be over the northeast at the start of the long
term period. Upr ridge axis looks to extend thru the Great Lakes
with the beginnings of a Rex block possibly developing on Tuesday.
Temps will moderate Wednesday into Thursday before northern stream
brings a cold front toward the CWA late on Thursday. At the same
time, the closed low begins to eject off of the mid-Atlantic coast
due to s/wv dropping into the northern Plains. Fropa late in the
week looks to drop temps back toward normal values.
