1/21 – Rob’s Monday “Midday News” Warming Temps Forecast

Temperatures will be a be about 5 degrees below normal this afternoon with highs climbing into the middle to upper 50s. The surge in low level moisture and dew-points will also push overnight lows back to more normal readings in the 40s. Tomorrow will see the flow aloft turn more southwesterly, and as the atmosphere begins to destabilize, a few showers will develop by the afternoon hours.

A cold front will move through the forecast area Tuesday night through Wednesday night. Ample moisture will allow for a band of showers to form in advance of a cold front and then sweep across the entire forecast area during the day on Wednesday. Rain chances should quickly come to an end from west to east Wednesday night as the cold front and associated trough axis move into Florida. Strong dry behind this system will bring clearing skies, lower humidity values, and cooler temperatures by late Wednesday night.

A reinforcing front will push through the area Thursday night into early Friday, but this front will be moisture starved as it moves through. Cold air advection will keep temperatures well below normal with highs in the lower to middle 50s both Thursday and Friday. Lows will cool into the 30s for most locations both Wednesday and Thursday nights.

In the wake of the reinforcing front on Friday, temperatures should plunge into the middle to upper 20s for most areas Friday night.
