DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A developing blocking pattern will slow weather systems down, and this will be evident as we enter a 2-day stretch of unsettled weather from a system, that in a progressive pattern, could pass through in a matter of hours. First a warm front approaches today, clouds take over, but rain holds back until sometime this evening across most areas, then we get into frequently wet weather through a good portion of Wednesday as first a warm front passes, then a cold front approaches.. As low pressure drifts north of our region, the cold front will finally move through Wednesday night and into the early hours of Thursday. For Thursday’s daytime through Friday, high pressure from Canada will nose into our region with dry weather. While this is going on, the next low pressure area will be heading in this direction via the Midwest, but it’s also going to be a slow mover, and may be pushed far enough south so that we only see its cloudiness for the start of the weekend, but its precipitation stays out of our region. Not a high confidence portion of the forecast still, so we’ll have to keep a close eye on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expecting blocking to continue but still not totally clear on how it impacts our weather directly. Current feeling is low pressure is held to the south for the most part, but occasional clouds and a touch of unsettled weather on the northern edge of an initial system may get in here early in the period and a better chance of getting a larger impact system in comes later in the period – but don’t take this as a guarantee of anything specific. There remains a lot of questions about the pattern and what it results in here. One extremely broken main piece of computer guidance (recent GFS model “upgrade”) is not going to help figure anything out either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Continued expectation that at least some form of a blocking pattern will continue and the trend is seasonably cool with a slightly increased for an episode of wintry weather in here somewhere, otherwise a mainly dry pattern. Much fine-tuning to come (you’ll hear this for a while, yet).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
