Passing High Clouds, Mild

Fortunately, a few convective complexes to our south prevented a major severe weather outbreak Friday night. However, a wake low event passed through the area early Saturday morning and caused very strong winds that littered the streets with small limbs. The cold front passed through on Saturday afternoon, and in its wake was a much cooler air mass that was felt yesterday. Our weather will quickly transition warm again as another storm system digging through the Rockies has resulted in lee side cyclogenesis. In response to this, our winds have switched back to the south and will remain that way through today. Aloft, the influence of jet streaks will cause a few high clouds to pass through at times today. This may prevent highs from reaching their maximum potential, but I still think we'll top out around 70 this afternoon.

By this evening, an area of low pressure will be located over Kansas and will advect a significant increase in low level moisture. This will cause a stratus cloud deck to develop this evening and will keep temperatures much warmer than last night. Southerly winds should also remain strong this evening so I'll forecast a morning low of 54. Rain will return to the forecast tomorrow as another cold front approaches. Our current progressive pattern also suggests we may have a shot at rain every few days for the next week or so.
