DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 27 – MAY 1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The high and mid level clouds have already arrived ahead of an approaching frontal boundary. This boundary is going to tease the forecasters over the next few days with challenging wind direction and temperature forecast, and even present a challenge trying to figure out when the best chances of passing areas of rain will be. This is how I think it goes, and the overall idea is very similar to what I put forth on yesterday’s blog. For today, already there is more cloudiness than I had expected, but I do think some of that will thin out and we will still end up with a fair amount of sun at times, but it may vary from place to place and time to time. It will be a dry day, however, on the mild side, and less windy than yesterday was as that departing low is now far enough away and high pressure slides southwest of the region. Impulses of energy in the form of waves on the frontal boundary will bring increased rain chances that I think time for mostly the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday and again Wednesday evening, and a couple more times between Thursday evening and Friday afternoon, although tweaks will be needed most likely. There may be enough instability for a couple thunderstorms thrown into these rain chances too, though nothing widespread or severe is expected to occur. So our last 4 days of April will feature “disorganized” weather, for lack of a better term, and it won’t be until we get to Saturday, the first day of May, that it currently looks more clear cut: Gusty wind, cool air and a sun\/cloud mix behind departing low pressure, with upper level disturbance still crossing the region and possibly triggering a few passing rain showers. Mother Nature, I challenge you to change this day 5 forecast on me! \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t think we get a forecasting break during the first week of May, as our region will likely still be near a frontal boundary for much of if not all of the time. Early guess, warm front approaches with clouds and risk of light rainfall May 2, high pressure builds in with a dry and mild interlude next day, then we go back into the in-and-out-of-clouds with occasional brief wet weather chances, but nothing that’s really going to produce beneficial rain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve been looking for indications of change, but still not seeing it. Still leaning toward the idea of weak systems with limited rain changes, but no long stretches of fair\/warm weather. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
