Weather It Is (Saying Your Wrong, Sort of)

Good Afternoon:

Today someone approached me and said that I am unusual in that I know when to say I was wrong (at least in regard to a weather forecast).  Of course, I immediately objected (to the implication that my forecast was wrong).

We all know that (apparently) the happiest people are those engaged to be married, and yet an ever increasing number of couples will end up divorced.  Following my scientific nature, I asked my father what is the secret to staying married (for so long, Thank God). His answer: "stay away from arguments."

How does one stay away from arguments? My first answer: recognise how different men are from women. For example, what does a husband do when his wife gives him an earful about how she feels?  He tries to fix the problem, without realising that the he's trying to close the barn door after the horses have already left.  Trying to fix the problem is a form of arguing.  For a women (and I'm not, so my apologies for what follows -- in case I'm wrong), fixing the problem is too late.  Better a sympathetic ear now and extra effort later to keep from causing the problem again.

Speaking of problems, there aren't many weatherwise -- unless you mind the wind.  This windy and cool respite, though, will be short-lived because were going to end up a few degrees warmer than yesterday just a couple of days from now.  But, then a couple days after this we're going to drop down by almost 15 C to even cooler weather than today.  June will come in feeling like early April or even late March!

Taking a look at the moisture fields, there could be some light drizzle as moisture works its way in with the cold air. However, we don't see any moisture at 700 mb, so this is not a deep layer of moisture.

Looking out late next week it's back up again, but then back down again.  Better to back down then to make an argument (it's harder, but smarter).
