10/2 – The Chief’s LOVELY “Cruisin’ The Coast Weather” Monday Afternoon Forecast

High pressure remains dominate over the area and this will remain the case into mid-week. A few showers could tickle the coast from time to time, but that will be about the only showers that we should see with exception to the coastal waters. Breezy conditions will continue from the east with wind gust into the upper teens and low 20 mh range expect to continue through much of the week.

Global models continue to sort of agree with spacial resolution, but only temporally, they are still not liking each other. They are all now showing the more aggressive high moving into the area and bridging the cold front as it moves through. This would effectively cause the line of showers/t-storms along the front to begin decaying before it gets here. Even though there could be several areas of showers existing along and ahead of the front, no large rain amounts are expected that could be drought busting.

Cloud cover should be the most prevalent thing noticed. The high pressure over the area currently will get forced east and NE, slowly giving way to the new high moving in, but the old high pressure will take its time in moving which should keep most of the moisture loading showers near the coast Thursday while the best forcing will be with the front as it moves through which will give the best chance(albeit low chance) of rain Friday.
