1:00 PM | *Much colder weather pattern setting up for the eastern two-thirds of the country to close out October*

Discussion

Big changes to cold are coming for much of the eastern two-thirds of the country during the last couple weeks of October. Temperatures have run at well above normal levels so far this month in the Midwest, Appalachians and Northeast, but much of that will be negated over the next couple of weeks; especially, from the Upper Midwest to the Appalachians.

An unfolding weather pattern change will bring about a deep upper level trough of low pressure centered over the Upper Midwest and a strong ridge of high pressure along the US and Canadian west coasts. The combination of these two upper level features will promote a flow of air from north-central Canada right into the northern sections of the US and these cold air masses will gradually spread eastward to the eastern seaboard. Last night’s GFS ensemble 500 millibar height anomaly forecast map (above) for next Thursday, 10/24, shows this upper level pattern with the deep trough represented by the blue and the strong ridge shown in red (map courtesy Penn State e-wall). This pattern will bring progressively colder air masses to the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast US and very likely the first snows of the season from the Upper Midwest to the Appalachians over the next couple of weeks. The greatest departure from normal will be across the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes regions where the core of the cold will set up. One final note - no matter who wins the American League Championship Series - Boston or Detroit - it looks like there could be some chilly times during the World Series while playing in the American League city.

It’ll generally stay on the mild side during the next several days as offshore flow will be the dominating pattern across southern California. The upper levels will feature high pressure across the western states for the next several days.

7:00 AM | Precipitation tonight could start as rain and then change to accumulating snow

6-Day Forecast

Today

Partly sunny, still chilly, highs near 50 degrees

Tonight

Mostly cloudy, cold, some rain likely before midnight and then snow late tonight with small accumulations possible, lows by morning near 30 degrees

Friday

Mainly cloudy in the morning with some lingering snow possible then partial afternoon sunshine, cold, near 50

Friday Night

Mainly clear, cold, near 30

Saturday

Mostly sunny, quite cool, upper 50’s

Sunday

Partly sunny, cool, near 60

Monday

Mainly sunny, cool, mid 50’s

Tuesday

Mainly sunny, milder, near 60

Discussion

A trof of low pressure will bring some precipitation to the region in the overnight hours and accumulating snow is a real threat, primarily on grassy surfaces. The bulk of the precipitation will occur from late this evening, initially in the form of rain, through the morning hours on Friday. The cold will ease some this weekend, but temperatures will stay below normal for this time of year.

7:00 AM | *Major Santa Ana wind event possible at the end of the week*

6-Day Forecast

Today

Patchy fog early today then gradual clearing, breezy and cool, highs near 70 degrees

Tonight

Increasing clouds, breezy, cool, some patchy fog late, lows by morning near 60 degrees

Thursday

Patchy fog early then becoming mostly sunny, still breezy and cool, near 70

Thursday Night

Mostly clear early, clouds late with increasing winds, cool, near 60

Friday

Mostly sunny, warmer, windy, near 80

Saturday

Mostly sunny, very warm, windy, low 80’s

Sunday

Mostly sunny, warm, windy, near 80

Monday

Mostly sunny, not quite as warm, mid-to-upper 70’s

Discussion

A major Santa Ana wind event is setting up for the end of the week. High pressure will build across the interior Pacific Northwest and this will produce strong offshore winds in the LA Basin at the end of the week. In the time period of Thursday night through Saturday night temperatures will trend well above normal and that will combine with gusty winds and low humidity to increase fire danger throughout the region.

7:00 AM | Dramatic cool down at the end of the week which includes the threat for some snow

6-Day Forecast

Today

Mainly sunny, breezy, still warm, highs near 80 degrees

Tonight

Mostly clear, chilly, lows by morning in the upper 40's

Thursday

Mainly sunny, cooler, low 70's

Thursday Night

Mainly cloudy, colder, chance for rain and/or snow showers, mid-to-upper 30’s

Friday

Mostly cloudy, even colder, windy, chance for rain and/or snow showers, small accumulations possible, mid-to-upper 40’s

Saturday

Partly sunny, chilly, mid 50’s

Sunday

Mainly sunny, milder, upper 60’s

Monday

Mainly sunny, mild, upper 60’s

Discussion

A dramatic weather change is in store for the region by the end of the work week as a strong cold front whips through the southern Rockies. We’ll squeeze out another warm day today, but the transition will begin tomorrow and Friday’s high temperatures are likely to be confined to the 40’s. As the colder air pours into the region, there is the chance for some rain and snow shower activity on Thursday night and Friday and the chilly weather will begin the weekend, but then moderates some by early next week.

7:00 AM | Santa Ana event likely at the end of the week with much warmer, dry and gusty conditions

6-Day Forecast

Today

Patchy fog early today then gradual clearing, breezy and cool, highs in the low 70’s

Tonight

Increasing clouds, breezy, cool, some patchy fog late, lows by morning near 60 degrees

Wednesday

Patchy fog early then becoming mostly sunny, breezy, still cool, near 70

Wednesday Night

Mostly clear early, clouds and patchy fog late, cool, near 60

Patchy fog possible early then gradual clearing, breezy, cool, near 70

Friday

Mostly sunny, warmer, windy, low-to-mid 80’s

Saturday

Mostly sunny, warm, windy, mid-to-upper 80’s

Sunday

Mostly sunny, warm, windy, low 80’s

Discussion

Cooler weather will persist into mid-week, but a major warm up is in the offing at the end of the week and a significant Santa Ana wind event is possible. Following the passage of an upper level trough, high pressure will build into the southwestern states at the end of the week resulting in very gusty winds (offshore), well above normal temperatures, low humidity and the result will be an increasing fire danger.

Saturday

Partly sunny, chilly, upper 50's

Sunday

Mainly sunny, milder, upper 60’s

Discussion

Upper level ridging will promote dry and comfortably warm conditions across the area for another couple of days, but a strong upper level system will bring a dramatic cool down at the end of the week. High temperatures today and Wednesday will approach the 80 degree mark, but could be confined to the 40's on Friday following the passage of a strong cool front and snow and rain showers will be a threat to close out the work week.

Discussion

Upper level ridging will promote dry and comfortably warm conditions across the area to begin the new work week. High temperatures this afternoon will climb to above the 80 degree mark which is above normal for this time of year. Another trough of low pressure will dig into the western states at mid-week and this will push much cooler air to the region by the end of the week.

7:00 AM | Pleasant way to start the week; warm up at the end

6-Day Forecast

Today

Becoming mostly sunny, cool, breezy, highs in the low 70’s

Tonight

Mostly clear, breezy, cool, lows by morning near 60 degrees

Tuesday

Mostly sunny, cool, near 70

Thursday

Patchy fog possible early then gradual clearing, cool, near 70

Friday

Patchy fog possible early then gradual clearing, much warmer, low 80's

Saturday

Mostly sunny, warm, low 80’s

Discussion

Offshore flow brought warmer weather to the region late last week, but the return of a marine layer of air will generate cooler conditions along the coast over the next few days along with the pattern of late and early morning low clouds and fog. By late this week, the flow of air will become offshore once again and a big warm up is likely.
