1/3 – Trey’s “Halftime Between Systems” Wednesday Night Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

Our weather will be relatively quiet through the next 12-20 hours, as today`s surface low departed and high pressure continues moving eastward through the Great Lakes with its axis extending all the way into the northern Gulf. Skies should be mostly clear for the duration of Wednesday night and early Thursday morning, allowing for a decent combination of cold air advection and radiational cooling. That will allow temperatures to fall into the low to mid 30s across northern areas and upper 30s to lower 40s across southern areas. Temperatures should warm up quickly tomorrow under clear skies with full sunshine. But even under full sunshine it will be a relatively cool day with highs in the mid to upper 50s, which is about 3-5 degrees below normal for this time of year. The ridging shifts eastward by Thursday night, with winds turning more easterly and beginning to strengthen late in the night ahead of the next low pressure system. With the wind shift early in the night, expect a non-typical overnight temperature curve with lows occurring near or possibly even before midnight and a few degrees warming before sunrise.

As always: A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition. Be nice to each 0ther.
