Cold Won't Last for Long

The one good thing about the 'transition' seasons is that cold spells usually don't last that long.  While highs Friday will stay in the low to mid 40s, we'll gradually see a warming trend as we head into early next week.  The dip in the jetstream that covers the eastern 1/3 of the U.S. will begin to lift and allow southerly winds to sweep through the Great Lakes starting Saturday night.  While I'm not going to go too crazy with high temperatures I do believe the mid and maybe (I stress maybe) upper 60s aren't that far out of reach.  There are, however, a couple things we have going against us.  We must remember that it is November and that the sun angle is getting lower and lower and will begin setting sooner - especially now that we will turn our clocks back one hour.  Looking though at how warm temperatures will be a couple thousand feet above us, and especially if we can get those temperatures to mix down to the surface, I do believe that forecasting highs in the 60s Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of next week will definitely be a possibility!  So enjoy.....
