RAIN HAS MOVED OUT OF THE AREA AS OUR NEXT COOL DOWN IS EXPECTED.
A SERIES OF UPPER SHORTWAVES WILL PROGRESS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
TODAY. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT HAS MOVED THROUGH THE I-65
CORRIDOR THIS MORNING AND WILL CONTINUE ITS MARCH OFFSHORE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WINDS WILL QUICKLY TURN OUT OF THE NORTH-
NORTHWEST AS ONE LAST COLD ARCTIC PUSH SURGES INTO THE AREA. THE
BIG TALK TONIGHT IS GOING TO BE THE COLD AND WIND CHILLS.
TEMPERATURES WILL DROP FROM THE 60S RIGHT NOW INTO THE UPPER 20S
TO LOW 30S TONIGHT WITH A BRISK NORTHWESTERLY WIND. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR WIND CHILLS TO DROP INTO THE UPPER TEENS WELL INLAND AND
LOW 20S ALONG THE COAST. GIVEN THESE CONDITIONS WE WEN'T AHEAD AND
ISSUED A COLD WEATHER ADVISORY FOR OUR COASTAL COMMUNITIES ONCE
AGAIN.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS COLD WILL BE SHORT LIVED AND THE NEXT WEEK
OR SO LOOKS ABOUT AS GOOD AS WE COULD DIAL UP. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BEGIN TO BUILD OVER THE EASTERN US THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK WHICH WILL KEEP US DRY FOR THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE. IT WILL ALSO RESULT IN STEADILY INCREASING TEMPERATURES
THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. HIGHS WILL MAINLY BE IN
THE 60S WITH LOWS IN THE 40S THROUGH SUNDAY BEFORE INCREASING
INTO THE LOW 70S NEXT WEEK FOR HIGHS. WE WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE
OUT BY THE MIDDLE NEXT WEEK FOR SOME SEA FOG TO START DEVELOPING
EACH MORNING ALONG THE COAST AS GULF TEMPERATURES ARE QUITE COOL.
UNTIL THEN ENJOY THE PERFECT PARADE WEATHER AND TRY TO THAW OUT
FROM OUR RECENT DEEP FREEZE! BB-8
