Wednesday Rain


 Tuesday will be another quiet day, a surface ridge is in place along with high pressure. This is keeping a light wind from the north and allowing temperatures to reach the upper 60s later this afternoom. But there will be a change in the pattern, and this will bring a chance for light rain on Wednesday. A mid level disturbance, as well as a jet max moving through a sharp dip in the jet stream, will bring a chance for rain late Wednesday afternoon. A cold pocket of air above will create a sharp gradient, or change, in temperatures from the mid levels of the atmosphere to surface. This sharp change in temperatures along with lift from the shortwave and jet will allow for just enough lift to support some rain. Not everyone will see the rain, and it won't be too much, we'll only see a few tenths of an inch. Behind this weak cool front temperatures on Thursday will drop into the low 60s but then we see a return to the warmth on Friday.
