TONIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING
THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL GRADUALLY TIGHTEN TONIGHT AS
A 1039 MB SURFACE HIGH MOVES SOUTHWARD INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS
AND A 997 MB SURFACE LOW MOVES OVER THE GULF STREAM EAST OF
MASSACHUSETTS. THIS WILL INCREASE THE WEST WINDS INTO THE 5 TO
15 MPH RANGE. WITH TEMPERATURES PRIMARILY IN THE 10 TO 20 BELOW
RANGE, WIND CHILL VALUES WILL RANGE FROM 25 TO 35 BELOW. DUE TO
THIS, A COLD WEATHER ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FROM MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT THROUGH NOON MONDAY. THIS LOOKS TO BE THE ONLY ONE OF
THOSE THIS WEEK.
MONDAY NIGHT
A CANADIAN COLD FRONT IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL MOVE
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REGION ON MONDAY NIGHT. SOUNDINGS SHOW
THAT THE LOW LEVELS WILL SATURATE UP TO 750 MB NORTH OF

THERE WILL BE 2 TO 3 HUNDRETHS OF AN INCH OF QPF. WITH SNOW TO
LIQUID RATIOS AROUND 20 TO 1, WE ARE LOOKING AT UP TO A HALF-
