- Frost/Freeze conditions again tonight
Expect one more cold night as a Canadian surface high remains in
place tonight with clear skies and light winds. Frost/freeze
conditions could impact much of the forecast area. The sfc high
is moving east and clouds may arrive from the west late in the
night but temperatures could still fall below freezing in the
cold spots where winds stay decoupled.
- Rain chances Tuesday and Late Week
A clipper low moving in the fast northwest flow arrives on Tuesday
with the first widespread rain this month. QPF expected to be
around two tenths of an inch with some isolated half inch amounts
possible with scattered convection Tuesday evening.
Flow goes more zonal late week and deeper moisture streams up from
the Gulf ahead of a shortwave trough that arrives Friday or
Saturday with showers and scattered convection.
