Good morning bloggers, It's FRIDAY!
An Arctic front will be moving through Sunday afternoon. Temperatures will be warming up ahead of this front over the weekend with possibly a few rain showers. We will time out the cold front on our weathercasts today and tonight. At this time I still don't see any organized storm showing up for the few days following the Arctic front.
Here is a comment from Bill in Lawrence this morning:
Boy-next week is going to be one interesting week to follow!! I am really getting into this as I really think next week is going to throw some curve balls vs. what the models are currently showing. I really do think the models are having some trouble trying to figure out the trajectory of the cold air and how much staying it power it really has. Regarding precipitation, the 0z shows several small vorts. Coming up the front on the 0Z run-how these actually play out I think is almost impossible to tell at this time. I also wonder if the models are not scouring out the cold air much too quickly by Wednesday. I think in the end, the important thing is to see Sunday just how far the front goes as this position will be the major player next week. Where will the battle ground set up next week-will it be in Oklahoma or will it be here? The models I think are going to have varying solutions over the next few days and it may not be until the front is in Montana and we get some good sounding data before they really get a handle on the specifics.
I am really trying to use the LRC to get a better grip on next week, but this is really an exercise in futility on my part as to be honest I do not have the knowledge to really do this-but, that has never stopped me before nor will it now-I'll keep plugging away and mostly making a fool out of myself!! I think that based on the LRC the models have this cold air spreading out too far East and that we will feel more of the brunt of it than is currently being shown. I think (big optimum word there-think) we are in the period from October 20th-November 13th or so. Thus, the SE ridge the GFS has popped up on the 0Z run, which I think is affecting the path of the cold air on that run, is a bit off. One interesting thing though is that the 0z and 6z GFS and the 0Z Euro do now show a storm of some sort later next week. The GFS has it bringing down another arctic type front after the cold air has been scoured out but I really do wonder if the cold air will not still be in place. In the end though at least some type of system is showing up for later next week and I think it is right on schedule!! On other point regarding this year’s pattern: the cold air has never hung up here in this part of the cycle-it has blow through and really has most of the Fall.
I am excited to follow this and see just where the front “stalls” out and then see how much energy we can kind of harness from these little vorts riding the front. We should be able to start seeing the front on the surface charts by tomorrow morning as it heads into Montana-fun times!!! No matter how it plays out, this is going to be fun to track and to see what happens!!
Have a great day and as always thanks for reading!!

Thank you Bill! I agree with just about everything you are talking about. We will discuss this today and I will update the blog later on this afternoon.
Come by and say hello on Saturday!
