FORECAST:
A strong upper trough will bring more rain this morning, easing to showers later this morning in a Southwest flow aloft. Depending on the exit of the low we my see showers to periods of rain on Tuesday. No data from WB but the freezing level seems to be hovering in the 2400 meter range dropping to near surface by Tuesday night as the cold arctic air moves in. The low will eventually shift East and we should see unsettled weather for Wednesday as an upper ridge builds, may see some sun on Thursday as the high strengthens but models are not in agreement with the potential for a low to the North reaching us by Thursday night into Friday. An upper ridge will hopefully build for next weekend into early next week.
Low pressure over the area this morning, high just to the North.
