GFS for Sunday Dec 3.

Mostly cloudy today with a few sunny breaks in the cloud. Rain tonight and tomorrow with up to 40 mm forecasted. I have my eye on a coastal storm for the first weekend in Dec. Could be interesting according to the GFS.

After a sunny start to the day clouds won over and it remained that way ahead of the system which formed off the Carolinas earlier in the week. Rain is expected to begin tomorrow evening and last throughout the overnight hours. Temperature wise things will warm up and remain that way until late next week as it looks now, when a trough moves eastward across the country. There is a possibility of a coastal storm formimg as the cold and warm air clash.

The morning began cloudy but soon cleared off with a drop in temperature at day break, from which we recovered only slightly. We recorded our lowest daytime temperatures of the season. Today the models are hinting at some rain during the Thursday night-Friday morning period from a low pressure system off the Carolinas. It is stationary now but once the high pressure system that is influencing us moves east, we should see the system begin to move north.
