6/11 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Winds Of Change” Tuesday Night Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

Later this week, Thursday through Saturday, rather dry air will be in place, with precipitable water values near the 10th to 25th percentile climatologically, generally near or below 1.25 inches. This should mean little to no precipitation development, and forecast soundings show low level temperatures supportive of at least mid to upper 90s in much of the area. The deterministic values even show a few spots topping out right at 100 degrees on Saturday, especially if a sea breeze doesn`t generate. As the upper ridge axis shifts east of the area Saturday night and Sunday, deep southeasterly flow plugs in, with moisture increasing rapidly as noted by precipitable water values climbing above 2 inches Sunday night on GFS forecast soundings.
