GREAT LAKES WEATHER: Lack of another title

30 March 2011

Lack of another title

(The low pressure down in the south, partially responsible for our chances of precip through Saturday).

The low pressure system that I have literally been typing about all week is going to pass very close to some, and miss others. What will happen is that it'll stay a little to the south of the region this morning, however late this afternoon, it'll shift northeast towards Pennsylvania.

In doing so, some (if not most) of the region will see clouds from this system as it makes its turn. Erie and Buffalo will see some scattered rain showers from it later today, and Toledo will come close to seeing some scattered rain showers, however I believe that the chances of any precip in that area is low so I didn't add it onto today's forecast. Toledo however will see some cloudy skies this afternoon with the passage of the low pressure system.

Skies are going to break and be mostly clear for a good chunk of the region tomorrow, however I am watching another low pressure that will effect us over the weekend. All this will happen as temps slowly warm back to around average during the weekend, and perhaps we could see 60° in Fort Wayne and upper 50's in Toledo by the end of the weekend and possibly on Monday.

However, this same low pressure will get a bit stronger as it makes it move, and it'll go along the East Coast. This once again could give some of the region a chance for precip over the first part of the weekend, so be sure to check those extended forecasts for more information on whether or not I expect you guys to get measurable rain fall.

A weaker low pressure system will come from the west on Saturday night and into Sunday, and that will give us another shot of some precip over the weekend. This low wont be as strong as the one we are seeing right now, however it will be enough that we could pick up some precipitation across the entire region. It wont be a lot, but enough that maybe you'll want those windshield wipers on.

This low will also help to raise temps slightly over the weekend, and as I mentioned, we'll be seeing the possibility of temperatures near or a little above average towards the end of the weekend...compensation I guess for the below average temps we've been seeing over the past week.

I'll keep you updated as always, but for now, I am Timmy Albertson and that's the weather! Be sure to check back for updates because I'll have them for you as always, and remember to vote for whether or not you want to add Cleveland to the forecasting locations.
