Lake-Effect clouds and showers today; More rain by the end of the week

North winds riding along a 30 mile stretch of lake plus warmer waters (60+ degree water temp.) brings lake-effect showers today. But with high pressure moving in and a fairly dry airmass in place, precipitation will be scatterred and light. With increased ridging and subsidence, the lake effect showers should turn off by late afternoon. However, the clouds will still linger until the winds finally diminish later on this evening.



Of increasing concern is the potential for a wet weekend and even a cooler start to the work week next week. We get a break from any wet weather later on tonight through Thursday, but Thursday night is when we can see some rain. High pressure takes over later tonight and for the next couple of days but there is an ever so slow moving low out to our west (in the Rockies) that is expected to makes its way here late Thursday/Friday. Once here, this low will bring rain lasting though the weekend. As far as temps. are concerned, Autumn has a pretty good grip on us for at least the next week. Highs will remain in the low to mid 50s for the week. Possibly even cooler temperatures early next week with forecasted highs in the upper 40s. This is the result of the buckling of the jet stream by weeks end forcing us in a northwest flow pattern.
