Strong southerly winds today allowed for some warm air, but a unique situation with westerly and even northwesterly winds tomorrow will allow for even warmer temperatures. Tonights' lows will stay in the 30s throughout the state, with a few clouds moving over the state. Tomorrows' highs will be above normal for a good portion of the state, at least average for the remainder. Upper 40s along the northern border of the state, to near 60 along the southern border. Not long after the warm air moves in, a weak cold front will also pass over the state and drop the temperatures back down. Tuesday night will feature lows in the upper 20s to mid 30s from north to south and rebounding temperatures on Wednesday will only have highs in the mid 40s to lower 50s.
Wednesday night will have lows around 30 in the north, to the upper 30s in the southeast. This however will not be the main story of the night, as a low pressure system and affiliated fronts will make its' way into the state. Precipitation is expected throughout the state overnight, with a mix of rain/snow expected in the northern half and rain in the south. The precip should continue for Thursday, as cold air dips into the state over the north they should say mainly snow for the northern third. The southern half of the state may actually get to hear some thunder to go along with the rains during the afternoon. Expect the precip to finally move out overnight on Thursday with a mix of precip for a majority of the state. Total precip amounts from the system could range from a quarter to half inch of liquid, translating to several inches of snow possible for the northern third.
More details on this system should be provided in later updates...
