I Spy Sunshine and Warmer Temps
The image above from NOAA's HPC or Hydrological Prediction Center shows a "Best guess" at where and how much rain will fall over the next 5 days. MCC's or Mesoscale Convective Complex's (storm clusters) will develop just to our south along a stark temperature gradient. This is also where the strong upper level winds (aka: Jet stream) will be sitting as well. It appears the storm track will change and send moisture our way by early next week. In the meantime, cold air aloft will keep the atmosphere unstable over the upper Midwest. Temperatures will warm as we head into the weekend, but isolated showers/sprinkles will be possible as well.
Weather Headlines
* Threat of a peek or two of sunshine Wednesday. Still unsettled, possibility of a stray shower or sprinkle. Average high temperature is 79 degrees, we'll be about 10 degrees shy of that mark Wednesday.
* Slow warming trend extends into the weekend: low to mid 70s Saturday, mid to upper 70s Sunday. Most of the weekend looks dry right now.
* A few 80-degree highs return next week, when it will finally start to feel like summer again. Lightning and thunder potential
