Weather Outlook for Tuesday

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 05:10:00 EDT
An upper trough along the Eastern Seaboard will slowly drift toward the Canadian Maritimes today, drawing abundant Atlantic moisture into the Green and White Mountains and across much of Maine this morning. An upper trough pushing through the Northern Rockies will strengthen over central Manitoba during the next 24 hours with a cold front sweeping through much of the central states later tonight. Precipitation is expected to develop along cold front with intensity and coverage on the increase as the system is able to draw moisture northward from the western Gulf of Mexico. The Canadian cold front surging into the Central Plains will generate a few thunderstorms on its way towards the Red River Valley. The Southern Plains are not expected get much relief from areas of rainfall with very limited cooling behind the front. Subtropical moisture will continue working its way into the Desert Southwest and Four Corners area.

Sorry I have been off line for a long time now..so i am back and hopefully i can start posting the weather again..

Ex-Tropical Storm Nicole

Tropical Storm Nicole which was poorly organized has been degraded to nothing but an elongated area of low pressure. This low pressure system will continue to have plenty of rain and there are some area of strong winds. A new strong non- tropical low pressure system with gale force winds is expected to develop to the Southeast U.S. Coast sometime tonight. The new low is not considered to be the remnants of Ex-Nicole. The heavy rainfall that is associated with the remnants of ex-Nicole are going to continue affecting portions of Eastern Cuba, and also Central & Northwestern Bahamas. Florida will see a gradual decrease in the rainfall tonight.
