Another Shot of Cool Air

High temperatures today were around 80 degrees for a large part of the area and tomorrow looks equally as warm. Last weekend's cool down was pinned by the European model SEVERAL days out. With that said, I'm paying close attention to it for the upcoming blast of cool air. Here are some maps we do not show on air much...

The above image is the European model showing the temperatures at 850mb or roughly 5,000 feet above. This map helps us forecast high temperatures. It's good to use this map because you can see an overall cooling trend without the dips between day and night. The above image is for tomorrow (Wednesday) and notice the warm colors (yellows) over Region 8. This makes sense as we are expecting warm, but seasonal weather. Let's fast forward to Monday...

The cool air by Monday has already overspread the area. The above map would indicate lows in the 42-46 range and highs in the 63-68 range. Click the images to enlarge and you can clearly see the pool of cooler air moving in...

The cooler air should start to move in on Saturday and will really be over us on Sunday & Monday. This also indicates a brisk game Saturday evening as ASU and Louisville battle at Red Wolf Stadium! WooHoo!

Enjoy the weather!
