A massive high pressure system centered over the tri-state area (that would be Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky) will bring relatively calm weather to the eastern half of the country today and tomorrow. Oh, it's going to be cool here, with a high only reaching the lower 30s, but with lots of sun we should see some melting of the ice mountains this afternoon.
Not as much sun is expected tomorrow as we'll be treated to a dance of the vorticity dervishes, where a series of upper level disturbances pass overhead starting late Saturday afternoon. With high pressure on the ground the disturbances won't have much fodder to work with so they aren't going to produce more than cloudy skies and the occasional snow flurry, which is a far cry from the blizzard and feet of snow some nitwits who aren't worthy of a link were predicting earlier in the week. The best chance for any accumulation, and it's not much of a chance, will occur when a coastal low forms and moves way to our south.
While those disturbances pass overhead the jet stream will remain to our south. That means cool weather for most of next week. Monday and Tuesday will feature highs in the 20s and lows in the teens. At least Tuesday is looking mostly sunny. As of now it appears that the temperatures start to turn around on Wednesday, with our next chance of precipitation being Thursday.
