GREAT LAKES WEATHER: Evening Post

12 February 2012

Evening Post

Well, I tried to make the forecasts a bit more interesting. But really, I can not find many places where a change in the forecast will be needed. Tonight we're watching a high pressure - a large one in terms of size - move towards the region in a way, and that is going to keep the western half of the region cool and clear tonight. The eastern half of the region tonight isn't going to see the skies clear out a whole lot, but the lake effect snow showers will actually lessen up a bit this evening and then taper off, mainly before midnight. Looking for a calm day in the region tomorrow, that is for the most part. The clouds will go on the increase during the late afternoon in the west - while it'll still be cloudy in the east - and that is going to be the beginning of our next system which will enter the region.

A weakening upper level low pressure system is going to cruise out of the Plains and this upper low will be anything but strong when you look at it. It will be bringing some snow showers with it, however the snow showers in the region are going to light and fairly scattered. I decided to hold off on putting up any snow fall totals because I really do not think that we're going to see any. So when will the snow arrive in the region. It'll come in from the west to the east late tomorrow night and into the morning on Tuesday and it'll last us through the majority of the day time hours. Temperatures are going to hover around the middle 30's so I am not expecting much in terms of accumulation.

Could be seeing a little bit of a lake effect snow event take place behind this weakening system as some slightly cooler air does its work, but in general the main feature will be this weak trough.

I'll keep you updated as always, and I'll be revising those extended forecasts briefly around 8.30 p.m. this evening. Otherwise for now, I am Timmy Albertson and that's the weather! Keep checking back for updates because I'll have them for you as always.
