Weather It Is (A Tease)

Good Evening:

The weather was a tad on the warm side today, and it will remain on the warm side until late Tuesday.

Then, the temperature will come crashing down.

The reason is the combination of a low pressure area approaching from the west with the development of high pressure over central Europe.  The area of high pressure will help to funnel cold air southward and will also maintain the low pressure over the eastern Mediterranean.

It may actually remain on the cool/cold side for about a week.  However, it is still unclear just how wet/rainy and/or cold it will be.  There is certainly enough cold air situated over Siberia, but we don't see a high likely of any strong coupling between it and the Mediterranean low pressure area.

The pattern of a more significant late storm is present, but that's not enough.
