Showery and cool conditions. This will be the main theme for the next few days....at for today and into tomorrow as a cool and unstable air mass(our trough) will remain in place during this time. So should see highs in the 40`s with lows in the 30`s.And with cool/cold 500mb trough in place, there is the possibility that in any of the heavier showers, there could be some ice pellets or maybe even some wet snow flakes mixed in with the showers that pop up during the afternoon/evening hours due to daytime heating. Would also think there should be some sun breaks sometime this afternoon as is typical with these showery air masses. So as mentioned, scattered showers continue into tomorrow with what looks to be a cold front sliding through for the Wed/Thurs period with possibly another system sliding up on SW flow aloft for the upcoming weekend.
Joseph, from what is shown on the 18z/00zGFS and WRF models, am not really seeing a "wind storm", but more or less a weak low of around 1000mb swing some where across Vancouver Island for mid week, while a cold front still appears to swing through for the Wed/Thurs time. And looks like 925mb cool just a tad behind the frontal system. But if something shows up, I`ll make mention of it.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with your second statement, Josheph. A lot of folks are ready for spring and warmer weather. But it will be slow to come.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to komo mentioning the 'wind storm' possibility, sounds like their jumping the band wagon to soon, especially if no other station is making mention like you said.
I posted another entry for tonight for all of ya here to read. :o)
