Re: (meteorobs) LEONID WEATHER FORECAST #2
Thanks for the update Joe!! I'll be observing from the Blue Ridge Mtns. of
southwest Virginia. Guess I'll fill the truck up with gas just in case I
need to head back to S. Carolina... ;)

Subject: (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.
