TUESDAY WEATHER BRIEFING

in

 Good morning!After a high of 64 degrees Monday, we'll have another nice one today. High pressure will continue fighting off the wet weather that is to our west. This morning's national map:map.pngHighs today will be well above average yet again.ndfd_t2max_cleveland_1The breeze will pick up today, especially this afternoon.WindGraph.jpgWEDNESDAY: Another warm day ahead of our strong cold front. The warmth will be in spite of thickening clouds. You can get in outdoor plans without problem through sunset...the rain will push in between 7pm-10pm.wedsnight.pngAn average on 1/2 inch of rain looks pretty likely Wednesday night.ModelRain.jpgTHURSDAY: Rain will be gone by the time most are up and at 'em and we should see some sunshine trying to work in for the afternoon. Temperatures may hold about steady or slowly fall so afternoon readings should be no higher than the upper 40s.FRIDAY: High pressure will provide a fairly sunny day but it will be chilly with highs in the 40s.fri.pngWEEKEND: So over the weekend a "clipper"-type system will track across the southern Great Lakes. A reminder that a "clipper" is what we often call a fast-moving, fairly weak area of low pressure that usually originates in SW Canada.This system will probably bring some rain and snow showers for a time Saturday with a transition over to just snow showers at some point...probably late in the day.sat.pngBehind the system, lake-effect snow showers will fire up and there can be some accumulations in the snow belts Saturday night into Sunday.sun.pngAny accumulation for our viewing area? I don't think there is much, but we are early in the game. Stay tuned. Might be a situation where accumulations are small but impacts are felt with slick roads in spots Saturday night. Just for fun, the current GFS model accumulations:gfssnow.pngTaken literally, it shows a coating to an inch for us and a couple/few inches in the snowbelts. It surely will not be exactly right. So, again...stay tuned.Cold Sunday with highs probably only in the mid 30s.SUNHIGHTEMPS.pngLONG RANGE: Starting to get a better grasp on Thanksgiving week. The cold air that is here this weekend is likely to stay into early next week. A warming trend appears likely toward Thanksgiving weekend.KYNG_2015111700_min_max_16.pngTHIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY: On this date LAST YEAR.....4.4" of snow was recorded at the airport in Vienna. What a difference a year makes!TWO DEGREE GUARANTEE: Back on track yesterday after underestimating the warmth Sunday. Some tricky forecasts ahead, that's for sure!Calendar.jpgWEATHER FOR WEATHER GEEKS: The Valley's most detailed weather video will go online this evening between 7:30-8:00. This evening's video is going to focus on the midweek rain but we'll spend plenty of time talking about the weekend snow situation as well. Also: more details on the changeable weather that appears likely as we head toward Turkey Day.CONNECT: FacebookTwitterInstagramYouTube
