A CHANGE IN THE JETSTREAM
Our mean wind flow has been out of the NW for the past week or so. The main pattern across the country has been that of a ridge in west and a trough in the central part of the country, stretching across the eastern seaboard. A succession of storm systems out in the Pacific Ocean will be chipping away at the ridge in the West and by Monday it appears as if our flow will be more from the due West with a strong jet pushing into the SW States.
This Jet looks to spin up a Low that will bring us measurable rain on Monday, but then things get very “winteresting” there afterwards. There has been some agreement for another Low to develop by next Wednesday just south of the area. Might this be the fabled and all too elusive Texarkana Low in the works, the kind that can bring snow to River Valley? Maybe so! Needless to say, at this point it’s something that bears watching and we’ll be monitoring developments closely.
