Cooler Temps are on the Way!

Wow, what a difference a day makes right? Yesterday was beautiful and today is going to be a lot cooler. The good news is that it will be sunny all day. So enjoy this while you can because unfortunately its not going to last long as temps are going to continue to tumble this week. A low pressure system will develop on the Lee side of the rockies (East side) from a system that is pushing into the Pacific Northwest. Strength of this system shows up on the visible satellite because of the cold fair weather cumulus behind the front, just off shore.


The low that will be affecting us will begin developing tonight over portions of the southern plains and then rapidly strengthen through the day Tuesday. This system will drop mid and upper level temperatures drastically and will allow cool temperatures to funnel their way down to the surface through evaporative cooling. May cool enough where some areas may see some mixed precipitation. Now, it doesnt look like a wide spread snow event at this point but things could definately change over the next 48 hours so we are keeping a close eye on it. But, even if we were to get the snow flying, the likelihood of seeing any accumulation is slim to none because of all the rain that would have already fallen, keeping the ground too wet, and because the ground temperature is just too warm to support snowpack this time of the year. But enjoy whats left of your day today because it will be turning much colder through the remainder of the week.
