Continued Cool

Last night was a classic example of the difficulties with forecasting when an active subtropical jet is in place. Despite a cold front moving through the area yesterday, a newly developing storm system in the Gulf of Mexico produced a considerable amount of high clouds. As a result, temperatures are just above freezing to start the morning. Satellite imagery suggests the high clouds will persist for much of the day, but some filtered sunshine will occur at times. At the surface, high pressure in Indiana and low pressure in the western Gulf of Mexico will combine to produce a cool northeasterly breeze. Highs this afternoon will top out around 47. High clouds will remain in place tonight and will probably only thicken towards sunrise. Lows tomorrow morning should be near 32.
