THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE THAT HAS KEPT THE AREA DRY THIS WEEKEND HAS
MOVED ON TO THE EAST EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON, ALLOWING FOR SOME
SCATTERED SHOWERS TO MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. CONFIDENCE ON
EXACT LOCATION OF THIS RAIN IS FAIRLY LOW DUE TO THE SCATTERED
NATURE OF THE RAINFALL. HOWEVER, THERE IS AGREEMENT THAT THE LINE
OF SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE IN COVERAGE THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AND COVER MUCH OF THE REGION BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.
EVEN WITH THE RAIN, WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER AND THE SOUTHERLY
SURFACE WINDS WILL KEEP TONIGHT RELATIVELY WARM IN THE 40S.
AS FOR THIS FORECAST PERIOD, SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL REMAIN A
POSSIBILITY FOR MUCH OF THE REGION WEDNESDAY MORNING AS A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH MEANDERS EAST. RAIN COVERAGE WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH THROUGH THE DAY AS TEMPERATURES CLIMB INTO THE LOW TO
MID 60S. EVEN WITH THE SHORTWAVE GONE, A LARGER UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH
WILL BRING A COLD FRONT THAT WILL BRING MORE RAIN TO THE REGION
BEGINNING THURSDAY MORNING. THE CONSISTENT WARM AIR AND MOISTURE
ADVECTION FROM SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRIME
THE ATMOSPHERE FOR THESE SHOWERS TO HAVE EMBEDDED RUMBLES OF
THUNDER. FORTUNATELY, MANY OTHER MARKERS FOR SHEAR AND INSTABILITY
SEEM TO BE LACKING, MAKING SEVERE WEATHER LOOK UNLIKELY AT THIS
TIME. THIS FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH AND EXIT TO THE EAST THURSDAY
NIGHT, TAKING THE CLOUD COVER WITH IT.
THE REST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD LOOKS BENIGN, WITH ZONAL FLOW
RETURNING ALOFT. THE COLD FRONT WILL ONLY KNOCK TEMPERATURES BACK
BRIEFLY INTO THE 60S BEFORE SOUTHERLY FLOW RESUMES THE WARMING
FOR THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 60S TO EVEN MID 70S
WILL BE POSSIBLE BEGINNING ON SATURDAY AND CONTINUE INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THIS PATTERN LOOKS LIKE IT WILL HOLD CONSISTENT ACROSS THE
CONUS FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK, WHICH ALIGNS WITH PREVIOUS FORECASTS
OF A WARMER-THAN-AVERAGE CHRISTMAS WITH NO RAIN IN SIGHT THIS
YEAR.
