2:19 pm a very impressive Low Pressure system is deepening over the northern Great Plains of the United States. This Low Pressure system is packing quite a punch; it has produced powerful storms that have ripped through major metropolitan regions like Chicago. Now, the cold front associated with this storm system; the same cold front that produced the damaging storms in Chicago is racing towards the east. Because of the dynamics of this storm, this line of strong storms will likely hold up as they approach western New York this evening. Ahead of this squall line of thunder storms gusty winds will blow from a south westerly direction. This will usher in a warm air mass today with temperatures likely topping out in the middle 70s. The force of the wind will increase as the front approaches by 6:00pm or 7:00pm this evening. This line of storms has already prompted Tornado watches and warnings over the Ohio River Valley. I would not be surprised if we see severe thunder storm advisories posted for western New York as the frontal boundary approaches. The stormy weather will then make its way to the Atlantic coast this latter this evening producing unsettled weather in to New York City; by the time these storms reach the coast. Like I mentioned before, the same front that will produce the unsettled weather is only one part of a much larger, more powerful Low Pressure System over the northern Great Plains. This storm will turn into a wind storm tomorrow over the Great Lakes with winds gusting over 40 miles per hour. Over the northern Great Plains, this system will produce blizzard like conditions for the first snow fall of the season for that region. Eventually this cold air mass will infiltrate the Northeast; the cold air mass will likely move in by Friday October 29th and will drop temperatures to near average levels. Until then however, temperatures will run in the 60s and 70s for day time highs.
