More up and down weather expected this week

Even though a few scattered showers will be found Tuesday afternoon, high pressure building in the southeast will shift our winds to the southwest late Wednesday and into Thursday which will help bump highs Thursday and Friday afternoon into the middle and possibly upper 50s!  Winds will be gusty, especially late Thursday into Friday, as a cold front begins to move in from the northwest late Friday afternoon.  It's this front that will cause the weekend to become a little messy with showers, and maybe a thunderstorm, late Friday into Saturday.

 The development and track of the next low pressure system will play a big factor into just what the end of the weekend will look like.  The image on the left is the latest run of the GFS weather model and this particular model develops a low along the cold front and rapidly lifts it northeast into Indiana by Sunday afternoon.  It also has enough cold air wrapping in behind to possibly create a few snow showers during the day.  Remember that this is only one of several weather models we look at and at this point all of them are pointing to different scenarios for this upcoming weekend.  As the time nears we'll be able to hammer out the details but for now just focus on the nice weather expected for Thanksgiving!
