Warm for the Holiday There are a lot of things that will be happening in the atmosphere Today. First, the the short wave that triggered the rain & snow showers early this morning will lift out. We will then be dammed in with a NE surface wind...that means the clouds will have a hard time breaking up, even into Tonight. In addition, warm air advection will be taking place Tonight & Tuesday Morning in the upper levels...there could be a few showers over that time period as the mild air arrives. High pressure will then anchor its self off the coast and we'll see a SW flow develop at the surface...the temps will surge into the 60s Wednesday and Thursday. A strong cold front still looks like it's on track to come through by Friday Morning...that will flip the pattern back to a more winter-like regime for the rest of the weekend. By the way, I still think we have a shot at our first accumulating snow sometime next week...more on that later.  ¶ 7:49 AM
