Clouds Build, Showers Loom

Any clarity to the morning remains likely to be lost throughout the afternoon as a ridge gives way to a low pressure system situated well to our west. While the low itself is expected to track through the central US, it's likely to produce some juicy southerly winds and rain chances by Wednesday into Thursday. After a couple of post-frontal clearer days, another development occurs from the Gulf of Mexico and is expected to be a bit more "interesting", bringing more rain chances as well as some snow shower potential on the back end by Monday night.

Forecast Discussion

Some weather action is finally on tap after a prolonged period of quiet..building clouds today yield to more dense cloud cover and breezy conditions by Wednesday, the latter part of which could see some showers as a low tracks across the central US. By Thursday afternoon, however, things dry out a bit as winds diminish..

Black Friday is looking great, as above average temperatures continue under mostly sunny skies. A few more clouds enter the picture Saturday, as a feature attempts to emerge from the Gulf of Mexico bringing unsettled and uncertain weather by Sunday and Monday. Things should start out as rain, but there's the possibility of a few flakes in the picture by late Sunday into Monday behind the low's cold front. Well to early to be quoting any amounts, however..

Things look generally cool and dry following as high pressure resettles, with more drama possible late next week.
