5/20 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Warm” Monday Evening Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

An upper level ridge is currently centered over central Mexico just southwest of Brownsville Texas. The axis of this high currently extends northeastward to the southern periphery of the Great Lakes. It will suppress southward the next couple days as an upper level trough currently moving through the Rockies tracks northeastward across the Northern Plains. More locally, this will bring higher 500mb heights overhead as the ridge axis becomes draped right across the CWA. This will keep rain chances out of the forecast and maintain temperatures well above normal with highs and lows well into summer category.

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