A Good End to the Weekend, but On and Off Showers Throughout the Week

As this beautiful sunny weekend comes to a close, we’ll be in another ridging pattern for most of the week coming up. As far as severe weather, the SPC has not forecasted any sort of outlook for the Deep South for the next week.

The overall look for the atmosphere next week is linear (West to East) in the mid-levels and more ridging in the low-to-mid levels with a high pressure system in the Gulf breaking down as another low pressure system moves in later in the week. While drier air in the mid-levels means that thunderstorms won’t be as prevalent, they are still possible under the right conditions, especially over the weekend. Overnight into Monday, a low level low pressure system is moving past the Great Lakes bringing in rain chances for the next few days afterwards.

Looking at the mid-levels and lower-mids at the same time, the mid-levels are still fairly linear while the low levels are pushing in Gulf moisture. Images courtesy of Pivotal Weather.

Coming into the weekend, the next low pressure system is moving in further north towards the Great Lakes which is a possible indicator of a lack of severe weather. However, rain will most likely be the deal for the weekend since another shortwave low is going to follow the cold front bringing in more rain into our neck of the woods for the early part of the weekend.

The front followed by the… front? Sure. Graphic courtesy of Pivotal Weather.
