THE NEXT FEW DAYS

Did i ever mention how much I love the weather?  I study deeper into the science of it all, it sure does get interesting.  Ok, lets start tonight with a day by day break down of the next few days....

Friday 12/7/12
The warm air from the gulf and cold air in the north begin to head towards each other pushing off to the east.  A Breezy start to the weekend, Maybe a mist like sprinkle or two.
5% Chance of Rain

Saturday 12/8/12
As the north and south air move closer we will see a little chance for showers in the evening, but mainly in the west parts of the TN valley.  Stronger Wind than Friday
25% Chance of Rain
H 69/ L 54

Precip expected for the next 48 hours

Sunday 12/9/12
Strong wind at times, spotty showers all day.
40% Chance of Rain

Monday 12/10/12
Pretty much stormy all day as the system will slow down over top of us.  1-3 Inches of rain expected.  Possible isolated strong thunderstorm, with very strong wind.  Stay inside if you can, its going to be an ICKY day.

Thursday and Beyond:

Forecast models are beginning to become clearer as we get closer into December   We are tracking another system to move in sometime next weekend.  I'm not quite sure how fast it will get here or how long it will last (another timing issue).  But i will be looking further into it as the week progresses.  I've heard a lot of talk this evening about the upcoming weeks.  I've seen a lot of forecast models and determine that the majority of scientist are saying we will have colder than normal temps and above normal precip in the next 3 weeks.


Meteorologist Quotes from Today:

 "above normal moisture with below normal temps...we all know what form moisture will take when it enters the cold air"

"the southeast and mid-east will be a battle zone for winter weather before the end of the year"


I don't want to give you a forecast for Thursday yet, as i'm not quite sure what the day will bring just yet.  The average forecaster temp is 54 as the high and 31 as the low, but i think it will change as the next few days play out.  Please keep a watch on my long range forecast, as i believe this next system will be our first chance at flurries.  If the forecast models keep showing me what they have been, then we might actually have a good size snow storm as early as 8 days from now.  We will see, it changes every hour as the arctic air moves closer and closer to us.  My suspicion about the cold air reaching South New Mexico was right, it will be at their door Saturday morning.  A deeper long range forecast will be posted tomorrow.
