After a cool start to the day, mainly sunny skies should boost temperatures to the 60’s this afternoon as high pressure remains in control. An upper-level trough will approach the region tonight and Wednesday and this will raise the chances for showers in the Tennessee Valley. In general, conditions will remain mild and unsettled for the latter part of the week with a shower threat continuing.

All the ingredients are coming together for rapid intensification today of low pressure as it pulls out of Colorado and moves into western Kansas. In fact, the central barometric pressure of this intensifying low pressure system could bottom out near 28.67 inches later today and some spots may very well reach record low levels; especially, across Colorado and Kansas. The combination of a strong “negatively-tilted” wave of energy in the upper atmosphere, sharp low-level temperature gradient, and powerful jet streaks in the atmosphere will help generate this powerhouse storm system that will have wide ranging impacts from blizzard conditions to its north and west to extreme winds and potential severe thunderstorms on its south and east side.
Wind gusts are likely to surpass hurricane-force levels later today in a wide part of the nation from New Mexico/Texas to southern Nebraska and perhaps even to 90+ mph in places like Colorado and Kansas. These extreme wind gusts are unfortunately likely to result in widespread power outages, downed or damaged trees and very difficult travel conditions. Blizzard warnings have been posted all the way from Colorado to Minnesota/North Dakota for the expected heavy snowfall and extremely strong winds.

Surface high pressure will build into the region today, but there will still be plenty of clouds around and from a disturbance sliding west-to-east in zonal flow aloft. As the high intensifies aloft over the next few days, our surface temperatures will tend to increase and reach the 70 degree mark for highs by mid-week. Additional disturbances in the upper atmosphere will keep us unsettled for the second half of the week and there can be chances for showers and thunderstorms.
