Active Pattern Begins, Not Much Sun Either

The past several days have been a taste of what is to come with cloud cover, and the overall feeling of the air. Over the next several days, clouds will creep in and stick around for an extended stay. Additionally, we will begin to see Jack Frost unleash its fury on the eastern half of the United States.

In the near term, there is a bunch of energy in the Pacific Ocean that will head into the Rockies, and eventually to the Plains. At the moment, there is an upper level low spinning to the west of Baha California that will deliver in the first impulse of energy.

Around this low there will be a "short wave" that rotates into the mountains of Mexico and eventually into the Lone Star State. Energy with this first pulse will be fairly weak, and several showers will be around late Thursday, and into Friday.

Several more systems will becoming from the heart of the Pacific Ocean and splash us with wet weather Monday and even Wednesday.

However, in the long term, I am going to keep an eye on the bone chilling cold in northern Canada over the coming weeks.

Many long term models are indicating that this air mass will make a move into the US later this week and into next week. Core of the coldest air will slide into the Great Lakes and towards the east coast.

For us, that means that the overall trend will favor temperatures below seasonal averages. On the other hand, there will be a few days here and there, namely Tuesday that will feature some warmth. Winter is not completely done yet as there is plenty of cold air coming from our neighbors to the north.

I will keep you updated on KAGS-HD.....
