Forecast Discussion:
A major change to the weather here in the Kingdom is on its way starting
tonight. A low pressure system will be moving into the Great Lakes region over
the next 12 hours. Typically the storm system would continue and track to our
northwest, but this is not a typical case. The upper level ridge that has been
providing us bountiful amounts of sunshine and pristine weather will be moving
to the east but it will not be moving off the coast very quickly. This will
leave the low pressure system over the Great Lakes to sit and spin for several
days, providing the area with some much needed rain (up to an inch by Thursday
morning) to lower the fire danger across the region.
