10-Day Outlook: Unsettled to Start...
Josh Larson @ 12:30 AM
Today's Weather:
Yesterday's abundant sunshine and very warm temperatures in the mid 80s will give way to mostly cloudy skies today, with high temperatures running some 10 degrees cooler, generally in the low to mid 70s. A widely scattered shower cannot be ruled out, especially west of town, but I anticipate a mostly dry day. It will be partly to mostly cloudy and tonight, but cooler, with lows in the upper 40s in the suburbs to the low 50s downtown.
1O-Day Outlook:
The next five days will be characterized by largely unsettled weather, with several dramatic swings in temperature. A back-door cold front, coupled with a cool high currently positioned over central Canada and the Great Lakes (left image) moving to eastern Canada and the Northeast by tomorrow (right image), will cause temperatures to tumble. After highs today in the mid 70s, it will be another 10 degrees cooler on Friday, with highs only in the mid 60s. However, this shot of cool air will be short-lived, as temperatures will reach the lower 80s on Saturday; then swing back to the mid 70s on Sunday.
As for chances of precipitation: we have the aforementioned slight chance of a stray shower today. Friday will again feature mostly cloudy skies, with generally dry conditions, though a widely scattered shower, especially south and west of town, cannot be completely ruled out. Saturday and Sunday, however, look potentially much more "juicy" with plenty of low-level moisture, and a rather unstable atmosphere ahead of an approaching cold front. Look for a 60% of scattered showers and, perhaps, a gusty thunderstorm on Saturday, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. Sunday will feature more clouds than sun with the continued chance for scattered showers - around 50% likelihood/coverage.
After Sunday, the pattern will quiet down a bit, and we can look for more consistent, as well as predominately dry and sunny, weather Monday through the end of the work week. Look for high temperatures Monday near 70°, with lows near 50°, under mostly clear skies. Tuesday and Wednesday will be sunny and pleasant with highs in the lower 70s and lows in the lower 50s. There are some indications that by Thursday and Friday (of next week) high temperatures will reach 75-80° with continued dry conditions.
