Cut-Off Low Persists…
Posted by Trevor Cole in Daily Weather Updates on 09-09-2009
What a wild couple of days it has been weatherwise!?!?! From cold air funnels to large hail, this cut-off low pressure system has really thrown us some curve balls! A cut-off low is a storm system that breaks off from the jet stream, thus having no real momentum to move much at all. Cut-off lows typically persist over the same general area for days on end, helping to keep the weather pattern unsettled. Eventually, some other storm system or pressure area will either engulf or help kick the cut-off low out of the picture, which in this case will be an area of high pressure briefly building in for the upcoming weekend. Expect partly to mostly cloudy skies to persist across the tri-state for your Wednesday, along with scattered showers/t-storms (some heavy). After starting out in the upper 50s/lower 60s, temps will climb to around 80 degrees during the afternoon hours.
