4/9 – Jeff Vorick’s “Changes Ahead” Sunday Night Forecast

A gloomy and cool day was in store for much of Easter Sunday. Temperatures will be in the low-to-mid 50s out the door tomorrow and cloud coverage will remain in the picture. Some peeks of sunshine are possible tomorrow particularly in the afternoon.

The pattern is about to change in a big way. A low pressure is going to form in the Gulf of Mexico later this week. It will become cut off, or separated from the jet stream flow and will be a persistent feature for our region. Rain chances will begin to increase Tuesday evening and carry through late Thursday. Coastal flooding concerns are headlined with a Coastal Flood Watch going into effect Monday afternoon carrying through midweek.

The track of the low pressure will be key to nailing down specific timing. But for now, 60% chances of rain are in place Wednesday and Thursday. Winds are going to be elevated especially over the water. A system moving in by the end of the week will kick the low pressure out of our region by Friday.
