500 hPa NAM forecast valid 18z 22 Oct 2005
The featured map plots forecasted winds and heights about half way up through the lower troposphere on Saturday. A very strong upper level low is expected to form and pull cold air down from Canada for the weekend. Temperatures may be cold enough to squeeze out some snow flurries as well. This system is expected to interact with Hurricane Wilma as well and hopefully weaken it.
