The above image shows our future in the next few hours. Rain is moving in from the west. Most of it will be light and much like yesterday, stay to the south of our area. Best chance for showers will be late tonight into early Tuesday. Tomorrow afternoon will be slow to clear, as the weak low pressure system slowly pulls away from our southern coast.
This next image is of our upper atmosphere on Wednesday. This model shows us the position of the jet steam about 5000 meters above ground level. All of that orange and yellow over southern New England indicates that the jet stream will have a strong northwesterly flow over our region, called a polar vortex. What this means is a large pool of cold air will form over our heads, creating quite the temperature difference between ground temps and upper air temps. What this means for us is a cool, cloudy day, where temps will only reach the lower 50's, possibly even colder if clouds set up early on in the day. You can also expect a pretty breezy day, as those jet steam winds are pretty strong overhead and create quite the mixing scenario!
After that, spring returns. Our good friend High Pressure returns and sets up a warm airflow direction for several days. Next weekend looks to be beautiful.
