ECMWF model / 500mb / valid 6pm Sat 14 Nov 2009 / College of DuPage 

Very pleasant weather can be expected through Thursday with cool mornings in the 50s and daytime highs in the 70s. It will be breezy for your Tuesday afternoon with winds at 10-20mph.

A large high-pressure cell anchored over the Great Lakes will shift slowly south and east. The size and slow movement of this high should allow it to maintain a stable northeasterly surface wind flow in the Metroplex through Thursday morning.

Sunshine (with clear nights as well) will be the rule in this mild November pattern.

A rather intense upper trough (map) will begin to approach this weekend. Surface pressure falls to our northwest will provide gusty southerly winds, repeating the familiar cycle of increasing clouds and moisture.

A cold front accompanying the upper trough completes the equation for fairly high rain chances Sunday-Monday, along with considerably cooler conditions.

In the meantime, near perfect outdoor conditions. Enjoy!
