(meteorobs) LEONID WEATHER FORECAST #2



Most of the United States should be blessed with mostly clear skies late 
Monday night into early Tuesday morning when the Leonid meteors are reaching 
their peak. High pressure will stretch from the central and southern Rockies 
east into the southeastern United States, likely promoting fair and dry 
weather for a large swath of the country.

There will, of course, be exceptions . . . 

Over parts of the northwestern US . . . specifically, northern California, 
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana . . . a Pacific weather front will 
likely generate widespread cloudiness and precipitation.  

Over the central Great Lakes region, a trough of low pressure could bring a 
Leonid obscuring cloak of clouds over the central and eastern Great Lakes, 
including much of Ohio, western Pennsylvania and western New York.  Widely 
scattered rain and/or wet snow showers may also fall across these areas as 
well.  The clouds from this weather disturbance might also adversely affect 
viewing as far south as the Virginias and as far east as New England, though 
it is still too early to tell what their exact progression will be. 

A big East Coast storm will sweep north during the weekend and will be 
retreating away into eastern Canada by Monday night.
