4/10 – Payton’s Tuesday Afternoon Forecast

The showers and cloud cover from this morning have cleared out. Looking at a dry
forecast through Thursday as high pressure settles in over the
area. A gradual warming trend will be developing with highs
reaching lower 80s for some locations Thursday and most of the area by Friday.
The next system to bring potential impacts to the area will be
rolling through on Friday night through Saturday. We could be
looking at another severe weather event with this one. The upper
trough will be transition from positive to neutrally tilted along
with ample instability and shear to support damaging winds and a few
tornadoes. As expected, models are remain diverged on timing due to
lack of jet sampling over the Pacific. It will be a few days until they come
back together. The timing of the cold front will be better understood over the next several days. Going into Sunday it looks cooler and dry.
