A COLD FRONT HAS SWEPT THROUGH THE REGION THIS MORNING AHEAD OF
A 1030MB SFC RIDGE OVER THE PLAINS. WITH THAT FRONT ANOTHER
ARCTIC AIRMASS MOVES INTO THE AREA. A CLOSED LOW OVER THE NORTH
CENTRAL US SPINS UP AN ALBERTA CLIPPER OVERNIGHT THAT MOVES INTO
THE AREA. TUESDAY BRINGING WITH IT A FEW CLOUDS AND A SMALL
CHANCE OF FLURRIES OR LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS. MORE COLD AND DRY AIR
IS THE MAIN THING WE WILL FEEL FROM THIS SYSTEM HOWEVER. WE WILL
STAY COLD AND WELL BELOW NORMAL (ON WHAT IS TYPICALLY OUR
COLDEST WEEK OF THE YEAR ACCORDING TO CLIMATOLOGY) THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.
MID-LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS IN LATER IN THE WEEK AND OUR
TEMPERATURES MODERATE MORE SUBSTANTIALLY WITH LOWS ABOVE
FREEZING AND HIGHS IN THE VICINITY OF 50. JET-LEVEL LIFT AHEAD
OF BROAD TROUGHING ON SATURDAY DEVELOPS AND HELPS A STORM SYSTEM
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA, BRINGING GOOD RAIN CHANCES ON SATURDAY.
LIMITED MOISTURE RETURN SHOULD KEEP RAIN AMOUNTS DOWN. THIS
SYSTEM BRINGS DOWN A COLD FRONT THAT APPEARS TO HAVE A POLAR
SOURCE AIRMASS BEHIND IT, LEADING TO SHARPLY COLDER TEMPERATURES
ONCE AGAIN WITH HIGHS MONDAY ADVERTISED IN THE 20S AND 5 TO 15
DEGREE HIGHS. FORTUNATELY PRECIP MOSTLY LOOKS TO REMAIN AT BAY
DURING THIS PERIOD.
