05/05 – Rob Knight’s “Warm” Tuesday Morning Forecast

The disturbance diving through the southern Great Lakes States will push a cold front through the area this evening. Expect isolated to scattered t-storms to develop in advance of the front. The majority of activity in our region will be to the NW with possibly the Southeast half of the area not seeing any precipitation at all.

Beyond tonight, high pressure for Wednesday and Thursday will bring much cooler weather. The next system dives toward the southern Great Lakes Friday with a cold front approaching the area. Scattered storms could affect the area as early as Friday afternoon.

A fast moving cold front will push through the forecast area Friday night bringing with it a short duration period of showers and thunderstorms Friday night and Saturday. Surface high-pressure will build in behind the cold front bringing well below normal temperatures with some near record lows possible Sunday morning where temperatures could dip down into the 40s for areas along and north of the I-10 corridor.

Expect dry conditions with a gradual warming trend over the weekend with highs returning to the 80s Monday with continued dry conditions.
