DAYS 1-5 (MAY 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A “dynamic duo” impacts today’s weather across the WHW forecast area. First up, a warm front with good instability moves in quick fashion from west to east across the region this morning and midday with the early sun you saw if you were up being lost behind thickening clouds, followed by areas of showers with potential embedded thunder in some locations. Behind this a break comes with some thinning and breaking of the clouds. Then the second member of the duo comes along from the west northwest from mid afternoon to early evening – this a cold front that will set off scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, possibly a cluster or two a little more organized. Any of these heavier cells have the potential produce hail of up to 1 inch in diameter and a lower probability of a damaging wind gust, so while the chances are low that any one location sees this, keep an eye to the sky (and the radar) as we move through the afternoon. This exits early evening, possibly with rainbows in showers’ wakes in locations where it occurs before sunset as some partial clearing can occur right behind them. Another swath of clouds will slide across the region later this evening as the air flow shifts to northerly, but this will be followed by some additional partial clearing overnight into early Thursday as an area of drier air arrives. This means a little bit of sunshine can be seen to start the day Thursday, before clouds thicken up ahead of the next low pressure area. This will the first in a series of 2 or 3 low pressure waves that travel just south of our region through early Saturday, resulting in a much cooler and unsettled stretch of weather. It won’t rain all the time, but all in all it will be pretty dreary and chilly with a regionwide northeasterly to easterly air flow. This finally starts to back to the north during Saturday as low pressure pulls away, but upper level low pressure in the region will keep the clouds locked in and still the chance of a passing shower or patch of drizzle. So, it’ll clear out Sunday, right? Not so fast. Just as our system departs, another will be on its heels via the Ohio Valley, and will move across the region during Sunday which now looks like a slightly milder but still unsettled day. Sorry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improving weather early next week – drier & milder – as upper level low pressure moves away and high pressure moves in. This will be followed by another cooling trend as the next upper level trough and a couple disturbances associated with it bring more clouds and some wet weather chances mid to late next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
