70s in the forecast, no fooling



On Saturday, there will be a few disturbances which could lead to a few snow showers or rain showers. Sunday will feature more clouds then sunshine as our next system moves in on Monday. Sunday Morning will probably feature the most sun of the next several days.
On Monday, a strong warm front will lift through our region. Rain with an isolated thunderstorm is possible.

On Tuesday, a strong low pressure system will pass to our north and swing a powerful cold front into our region on Tuesday Night. The low pressure area is currently projected to really intensify and become potent. This will generate a strong wind field aloft as the pressure gradient looks pretty ominous on the modeling. With the warm front lifting well to our north on Tuesday, strong southerly winds will develop and bring a strong push of very warm air into the region with high temperatures pushing into the seventies ahead of the cold front. The sunshine will probably lead to surface wind gusts of around 45 mph, at least, as the mixing occurs. Then as the cold front swings in late in the day, a round of potential severe thunderstorms with damaging winds could occur. There could even be some large hail and/or an isolated tornado if the time frame of the line of thunderstorms is moved up into the evening hours.

A major severe weather outbreak will occur both on Monday and Tuesday in the eastern half of the United States, with the best chances across the Mississippi Valley into the Ohio Valley.
