Thursday October 12th, 2023: Much quieter day today and will remain generally quiet through the forecast. Even with a cold front expected Friday night and Saturday it will likely remain dry with the forecast being mostly a temperature focused forecast. These low clouds have been stubborn and will probably continue to hang around through sunset and possibly most of the night but are expected to lift and clear out through the morning hours tomorrow Zonal flow aloft and high pressure at the sfc will take over tonight but the LL thermal trough will be very slow to evacuate and is more so retreating to the north-northwest. This is why these low and mid clouds have hung around today and likely through a good portion of the night. Overall Friday and Friday night will be quiet however a deep low currently moving into the central and northern Plains will continue east into the Great Lakes by Saturday while a strong s/w on the backside starts to dive southeast out of Canada into the High and northern Plains Friday night. The main low will help to drive a cold front through the area overnight Friday and early Saturday while the secondary s/w will help to dig and develop the L/W trough that will develop across the eastern CONUS by Monday. The cold front will bring in cooler and drier air but it could be late enough in the day allowing highs to still get into the upper 70s and lower 80s. However, the cold air advection will continue through the night leading to a much cooler Sunday. That said, the work week could begin even cooler as that previously mentioned s/w will help to usher in a reinforcing cold front Sunday afternoon and night.
