24 Hours... CLEARING OUT!

Just a little pocket of cold air remains in a semi cut-off area of Low pressure to our WSW. This Low is in what is known as "spin-down" stage. Cold air is no longer advecting (horizontally moving) into the system, and adding to it's strength. It is filling in and becoming mixed with surrounding air. This process can take up to 5 days or so and the Low will be long gone by then.

But, for the time being, the system has been quite stubborn in going over to an all rain event! Note Abilene's temperature in the observations (32F) and the snowy scene. As this system passes over our area tomorrow morning, we may see a little bit of a wintry mix and even some light snow. NE OK and possibly NW Benton county stand the best chance as the Low looks to track just south of I-44, though please use caution on all area-wide bridges and overpasses tomorrow morning. There could be isolated slick spots. Be sure to check in with Patrick tomorrow morning for any travel issues or concerns. By tomorrow afternoon we should see breaks of sun and Tuesday looks to be a fine day with ample sunshine and highs in the mid 50s... at this point, the gem of the week!
