11/29 – Jeff’s “Frigid Start” Wednesday Morning Forecast

A Freeze Warning remains in effect until 8 AM for our entire area. A frigid start under clear skies will yield to a quick warm-up with lots of sunshine through the morning. Some upper-level clouds move in, especially this afternoon. Temperatures will end up maxing out at below-average numbers this afternoon.

As high pressure scoots to the east, winds will turn to a more southerly component. This will help warm up the area gradually. More humidity/moisture will work in as a result, too. Tonight will be less cold with temperatures generally in the upper-30s to low/mid 40s.

Moisture and humidity increase Thursday with more pronounced southerly flow developing ahead of an approaching frontal system. Rain chances remain at bay until the second half of the day tomorrow. The initial cold front will provide for a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms early Friday.

There will be the possibility for strong straight-line wind gusts with some thunderstorms Friday. Dry time will be possible Friday afternoon before a secondary storm system develops ahead of the weekend. This will bring the potential for heavy rainfall into Saturday. There will be the potential for isolated pockets of flooding Friday and Saturday. The unsettled pattern will gradually ease by the end of the weekend into next week.
