Cold front to usher in dramatic temperature change
Friends of Monsoon,
There are rumblings about the potential for [expletive deleted] on Tuesday night. Sure, it is going to be much colder.
In fact, we're going to see temperatures drop 30 degrees in 24 hours (from 74 at 7pm Monday to 44 at 7pm Tuesday) and 45 degrees in 36 hours (74 now; 29 by 7am Wednesday).
But [frozen crap]?! Nah. I don't see it. (Except for the Great Lakes and western PA, where we see the rain end as wet snow, mainly covering grassy surfaces.)
Here's what to expect:
Showers develop by Tuesday morning and continue throughout the day. Rain will likely be heavy at times, and some places will see some late-afternoon thunderstorms move through. Most places will see about an inch of rain all told from this.
Temperatures stay in the 60s until about noon, when the wind will shift (from southerly to westerly) and temperatures will fall through the 50s throughout the afternoon. 40s by 6 or 7pm. Rain ends by 10 or 11pm.
Becoming rather windy overnight. Expect temperatures to dip just below freezing (32°F) by daybreak Wednesday.
Sure is going to be chilly on Wednesday: sunny but breezy, with highs only reaching 46. Patchy frost late Wednesday night into Thursday morning, too.
A little milder on Thursday with temperatures reaching in to the upper 50s. Same thing Friday. Partly sunny both days.
The weather picture is a little muddled thereafter, but it appears that Saturday will have some scattered showers, and then Sunday will be cloudy but dry.
And I don't see it getting what I would call unpleasantly warm (highs reaching above the 70s) again until mid-May...
Stay tuned for updates!!
