6/6/12 Summer to return this weekend. Major heat next week!

There is a lot to be said about this past weekends weather. The hows and whys of why it got cold are quite detailed and it is not just one simple answer, in fact it is something in meteorology we call, teleconnections.   This means that many small events, all around the globe can react to cause another event.  Like the butterfly flapping its wings effect.  If any readers wish, I will gladly write a post about what happened. So please respond.  Otherwise, lets look ahead, because frankly, you are not planning for last weekend!

The culprit for the cool, wet weather is still seen on this mornings weather map. An area of low pressure over Atlantic Canada. The flow around this low is bringing very cool air streaming in from the cold waters of the North Atlantic into the Northeast.  The Bermuda high has been pushed south. Heat is building in the central plains.
The weekend weather map, shows warmer air building to our west, a warm front will push through on Saturday evening to bring a chance of a shower along with warmer weather for Sunday into Monday.
Next week looks to be warm, followed by a HOT pattern setting up where highs will possibly get into the 90s.
