4/17 – Trey Tonnessen’s “More Humid” Wednesday Night Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

The above mentioned upper trough will continue east across the Great Lakes Friday and Saturday. The upper low aloft will still be fairly flat/zonal with possibly weak ridging in place. That will still promote slightly more moderating temps. Could see an isolated location or 2 reach 85+ degrees on Friday. That will be within the realm of record highs for the local area. As we go through the weekend, models show a shortwave on the backside of the northern trough moving through the region. This is what is needed to drive a cold front through the area on Sunday. Ample moisture in place with lift from the front will be a good setup for increasing showers and thunderstorms. Latest forecast depicts this with rain chances increasing and rainfall totals around an inch. This cold front won`t be particularly strong, which means roughly a day of below normal temperatures, followed by moderating conditions quickly returning as well as above normal temperatures Tuesday onward.

As always: A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition. Be nice to each other.
