Discussion
High pressure that first formed over central Canada has drifted southeastward over the past few days and it will emerge out over the western Atlantic Ocean by tomorrow. As a result, clockwise winds on the back side of the high have produced a broad flow of air from the southwest-to-the northeast and temperatures have responded noticeably higher across the central Plains and Upper Midwest. This warm up will expand into the eastern states by tomorrow afternoon and it’ll stay on the warm side of normal for much of the remainder of the week. In fact, 60+ degrees is likely here on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday before a late week frontal passage ushers in colder air for the weekend.
