428 AM EDT SUN SEP 27 2009
VALID 12Z SUN SEP 27 2009 - 00Z TUE SEP 29 2009
THE WEATHER PATTERN IS FAST FORWARDING TO OCTOBER DURING THE NEXT
FEW DAYS...WITH A COLD BLAST OF AIR SWEEPING INTO THE NORTH
CENTRAL STATES...HERALDED BY A POWERFUL STORM CROSSING THE GREAT
LAKES. BEFORE THIS BLUSTERY EVENT TAKES PLACE...A WET AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL TRACK ALONG THE NORTHEAST COAST...WITH RAIN
SPREADING FROM THE MID ATLANTIC REGION TO NEW ENGLAND. MUCH OF
THE MOISTURE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE TO THE STRONG COLD
FRONT SLICING THROUGH THE MIDWEST WILL BE CUT OFF BY THE SYSTEM
DEPARTING THE EAST COAST...SO THAT ONLY THE GREAT LAKES WILL SEE
ANY APPRECIABLE SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH THE COLD STORM. A WEAKER
COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO COME ASHORE IN THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST...WITH A FEW SHOWERS ANTICIPATED MAINLY OVER WESTERN
WASHINGTON. THE SOUTHWEST WILL BE HIGH AND DRY...FAR REMOVED FROM
THE MAIN STORM TRACK.
