12/15 – Rob Knight’s “Next Rainmaker” Mid-Morning Forecast

A disturbance over New Mexico this morning will move east-northeast into Kentucky by tomorrow afternoon and into New England on Thursday. This will produce a period of rain showers, mainly overnight across the area. This won’t be a heavy rain maker, as any one location likely to see about a 3-4 hour period of precipitation. Not really seeing any indications of surface based instability, but forecast soundings indicating at least some elevated instability, especially over marine areas, as only a few rumbles of thunder is expected.

Skies will begin to clear Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday highs are predicated on sunshine occurring, with some areas getting back into the lower 60s, others will max in the upper 50s. The next system after tonight’s will be this weekend. Models favor isolated activity late Saturday afternoon into early Sunday. But with such a variance of what can occur, timing remains a huge factor. Rain will be the primary effects with a few rumbles of thunder possible.
