Weather It Is (Changing Weather)

Good Evening:

The weather has been certainly very nice, but it won't stay that way.

True, Monday and Tuesday should be fine weather days, but a storm is brewing.

It should arrive late Tuesday night and Wednesday and last until at least the end of the week.

It will probably arrive with convective rain and then cooling temperatures off the sea should bring a lighter, but possibly more persistent rain.

From mid this week until mid next week temperatures will probably fall to chilly levels.  For this reason, I will probably be receiving a greater number of complaints than usual.  However, we're ready and we have operators standing by to make you feel better and offer suggestions for staying warm.

When the storm arrives on Wednesday, temperatures will drop at 500 mb.  However, the temperatures at 700 mb will not be changing very much, meaning that developing rain showers will need to "break through" a slight capping layer -- but when they do this brings stronger convective storms than when temperatures fall off simultaneously at both lower, middle, and upper levels.  So, we'll have to see how this develops and report later on.

Until then, enjoy the next two days.
