The following forecast is provided by Ginny Akabane as part of lab work for the Introduction to Meteorology course:
Summary: The cut-off low which has controlled the weather all week will finally clear out Thursday night, to be replaced by a high pressure center approaching from the west which will give us a bright sunny Friday. Saturday another low pressure system will approach and possibly stall giving us a chance of light rain Saturday night and again late in the day on Sunday. Unfortunately, no good soaking rain is in the foreseeable future.
Friday
A beautiful sunny day with the chance of precipitation around 0%. The high temperature will be in the upper 50’s, near the normal high of 56. Light northwesterly winds, around 10 m.p.h., will bring down cool Canadian air and keep the high from going higher. The barometer will rise with the arrival of the high pressure system.
Friday night
Skies mostly clear, with low temperature in the lower 30’s. The winds become calm overnight, and the chance of rain continues to be 0%.
Saturday
The day begins mostly sunny with northwesterly winds and the chance of rain continuing to be 0%. The skies will cloud up in the afternoon keeping the high for the day in the mid 60’s. As the warm front approaches, the wind will swing to the southwest and the chance of rain will increase to 50% by evening.
Saturday night
Skies will be overcast with a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms bringing up to 1/4 inch of rain, with a higher amount possible in thunderstorms. The low temperature will be around 45 with southerly winds around 10 m.p.h.
Sunday
The day will be mostly cloudy in the morning, becoming partly sunny in the afternoon with southwesterly winds. The high temperature will be around 70 degrees. The chance of rain will be 50% in the morning decreasing to 20% by evening.
