(meteorobs) LEONID WEATHER OUTLOOK #3



Based on overnight and early morning computer guidance, it still appears that 
much of the United States will enjoy fair skies for "Leonid Night."  

High pressure will dominate the weather map, stretching from Wyoming, south 
and east to Florida.

Areas of concern: Pacific Northwest, where cloud cover and scattered 
precipitation will likely prevail across Washington, much of Oregon, northern 
Idaho and Montana, west of the Continental Divide.  However, this area of 
disturbed weather does not look as extensive as was depicted 24 hours ago.

Over the Great Lakes, a deepening trough of low pressure could bring a 
broken-to-overcast sky by daybreak Tuesday that might extend as far south as 
northeastern Illinois, much of Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, the Virginias, 
New Jersey and New York State.  Rain or wet snow showers are also possible, 
especially around Michigan, Ohio and western Pennsylvania and New York State.

Farther east, across much of New England, some improvement is possible with 
less in the way of cloudiness . . . though this is still not a certainty.
