An upper low over the plains will left northeast into the Great Lakesregion through Sunday. An associated sfc front will moves into the southeast, but likely stall well northwest of the local area. This will keep the best lift well north of the area, leaving much of the area dry with only a few light showers possible. Above normal temps will continue with lows tonight in the low to mid 50sinland to upper 50s along the coast.

An associated surface cold front approaches the region from the northwest, butstalls before reaching the forecast area due to stubborn surface ridging over the southeast states. Dry conditions prevail Mondaythrough Tuesday night. Another upper trough digs southward overthe Great Plains late Tuesday and progresses across the eastern states midweek into Thursday. We anticipate this system to bring a stronger cold front through the forecast area Wednesdayafternoon and evening. Have continued with chance pops for Wednesday and Wednesday night, then dry conditions develop Thursday morning as a dome of cold and dry high pressure builds into the region in the wake of the front. At this point, sufficient instability looks to develop on Wednesday to support thunderstorm development before the frontal passage, but the potential for severe storm development appears to be low. Highs ahead of the front will be in the 70s and lows will be in the 50s,then temperatures trend much cooler in the wake of the front withlows Thursday night mostly in the 30s and highs on Thursday and Friday in the mid 50s to mid 60s. /22&&.MARINE...Issued at 343 PM CST Sat Dec 14 2024A moderate to occasionally strong easterly flow will slowly decrease tonight.
