Forecast – for Sep. 8, 2011

Last week’s forecast turned out pretty much as expected, with the only exception being that it was slightly cooler than forecast over the weekend. Luckily, the start of this forecast period is playing out toward the warm end of the weather models. These weather models were having a hard time trying to figure out what

Last week’s forecast played out pretty much as forecast, with only a few issues as to the timing of the weather systems. For this forecast period it looks as if we will see a slight change in our overall weather pattern. Things are going to feel just a little fall-like during parts of this forecast


Forecast – for Jul. 14, 2011

Last week’s forecast played out pretty much as expected. The biggest exception would be to the start of the week, as fairly cool air spilled southward behind the departing low. Hopefully this week’s forecast works out as well! The cool area of high pressure that brought refreshing conditions to start the week will move off

Well, it felt a little more summerlike this past week and some areas were able to dry out, but other areas got hammered once again with heavy rains coming in the form of thunderstorms. In what seems to be a pattern this spring, we are once again starting this forecast period with a strong and

Last week’s forecast didn’t come out exactly as I thought it would, but looking back, the biggest problem was with the timing of the weather systems. The storm system forecast to hit our region early this week ended up moving in a little early, bringing some significant rain and snow to southern regions. This week


Forecast – for Mar. 31, 2011

Cool high pressure that brought plenty of sunshine and cool temperatures to our region over the last week or so looks as if it will begin to weaken and move off to the East around the middle of this week. This will have two effects on our weather. First we will see temperatures warm up

Another tough forecast, at least to start this forecast period. One of the big weather-makers to affect this forecast period will be just winding up on Wednesday. As a number of you know, I have to complete this forecast on Monday in order to meet the newspaper’s publishing deadline. As I write this there is
