SYNOPSIS
Some freezing temperatures are possible early this morning across the northern and western Midlands. Dry weather and warmer temperatures follow during the middle of next week. Our next storm system is expected to develop across the southeast late in the week and bring increased chances of rain Friday and Saturday.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
At upper levels, a Rex block is in place over the W CONUS, with a deep trough over the E CONUS, funneling cool and dry air into our region. A tight pressure gradient between the Canadian surface high to our west, and a front and low pressure offshore, resulting in breezy conditions accompanying the cold advection.
No frost threat due to wind and dry air, but the cold advection alone is expected to result in near freezing temps early this morning over our northern forecast area (FA), where a Freeze Warning remains in effect. Some indications of decreasing wind speeds later tonight over land areas, but higher wind gusts over warmer area lakes expected to continue, so a Lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 8 am.
The surface high to our west will shift south towards the Gulf coast through tonight, while NW flow aloft, and associated lee side surface trough, will set up to our north, keeping a fairly tight surface pressure gradient over our region. This is important as any significant wind would preclude a frost threat for tonight. Despite guidance consensus min temps in the upper 30s, dry air and wind expected to preclude the need for a Frost Advisory.
SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/
With little-no advection to speak of, downsloping flow and diurnal heating will help rapidly warm temps back into the 70's Wednesday afternoon. A very weak dry front is then expected to move across the area late Wednesday into Thursday as a low pressure system moves across the Ohio Valley. Moisture will be so limited that only some mid-level clouds are expected, but a marked wind shift from the northwest to east will occur by Thursday morning.
LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
Confidence is increasing overall in the long term period as a clearer picture for the SW CONUS trough is no evident in the GEFS and EC ensemble members. Thursday is generally a transition day, with fairly high confidence that we will remain warm and dry ahead of the approaching trough. As now seen in the GEFS and EC (both operational and ensembles), the SW Conus cutoff mid- level low will phase with some stronger southern stream flow and eject eastward Thursday. Strong warm-moist advection will occur ahead of the shortwave across our area by late Thursday night and throughout much of the day Friday. The ensemble solutions nearly universally show a widespread isentropic lift setup with a wedge-like surface ridge in place lee of the Appalachians, as PWAT's climb to around 150% of average. So a fairly classic setup for the region for a fairly prolonged light-moderate overrunning rain event. The trough then will push east and likely develop some sort of coastal low pressure into Saturday. Rainfall totals are still a bit uncertain but confidence is much higher in the PoP's than 24 hours ago. Drier and cooler air will fill in behind the coastal low late Saturday and Sunday.
AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
VFR. Cool and very dry air continues to work into the region.
This, along with wind, will preclude any fog/stratus concerns.
Breezy winds in the near term, with decreasing speeds later this morning. Winds expected to pick up again during the mid to late afternoon. Numerous scheduled prescribed burns for today may provide some locally reduced VSBYs in smoke over some areas this afternoon and early evening.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...No significant impacts to aviation expected Tuesday night through Thursday. Some CIG restrictions may develop late Thursday night. Rain and associated restrictions Friday into early Saturday.
