Forecast Insight For Friday, November 6, 2009

Today:

Synopsis of Weather Conditions:

Today is starting out with some partial sunshine as an unexpected swath of mid-level clouds is overspreading the tri-state. This minor disturbance certainly won’t produce any rainfall, and mostly sunny skies are expected to develop as we head into the afternoon hours. Temperatures this afternoon will be a bit higher than yesterday’s high of 56 in Evansville thanks to a southerly flow. The south wind is the result of the center of high pressure influencing our weather setting up to the east. Overall, your Friday is going to be very pleasant by most people’s standards.

Extended Forecast Overview:

*What someone deems to be unseasonably warm or unseasonably cool is entirely subjective and also depends on the typical temperature variability of any given location. For the purposes of the chart above, unseasonably warm will be defined as having a high temperature greater than 10 degrees above the seasonable average for that day at KEVV (The Evansville Regional Airport). Likewise, unseasonably cool will be defined as having a high temperature 10 degrees below the seasonable average for that day at KEVV.

**It’s important to note that Ron’s temperature forecasts may significantly differ with the other forecasts from time to time. There are two reasons for this. First, Ron is working with older model data than myself when I come in during the morning hours and produce my forecast. Model forecasts can vary significantly between issuances. Second, Ron may see reasonable meteorological evidence to vary his forecast significantly from the models and myself. His forecast is added to the temperature forecast grids to provide additional perspective into the forecast.
