Weather It Is (Some Rain)

Good Evening:

We're looking at low pressure moving into our area during the next couple of days.  There will be a chance of showers into Tuesday morning, with lighter showers Sunday into Monday, and heavier rain more likely Monday afternoon into Tuesday morning.

The weather pattern, however, is showing a bit of split flow.  The low pressure is swinging around broad high pressure over northern Africa and Southern Europe.  This broad area of low pressure will then build further eastward, and all of our winter "cold" will be shunted to the northern reaches of Europe for several days thereafter.

It won't be until the end of this week before the high pressure area begins to take on a more north-to south orientation, which will allow for cold air to seep southward again. This will allow for a stronger trough of low pressure to develop over the central Mediterranean.  The high pressure system may then nose to the east, bringing even more cold air into the trough.  Whether it makes it as far as our way remains to be seen.

Chanukah Samaech,
