Roller Coaster Going Back Down

This March we have seen temperatures on a roller coaster ride. It was 39 on the 1st, 73 on the 6th, in the 40s on the 8th & 9th and back in to the 60s the last 3 days. The reason this has occurred is that we have been in the middle of an oscillating temperature gradient across the Plains (see highs Saturday below). It looks like we will settle in to the colder air the next 5-7 days. The pattern is changing as we will not only be colder, but see more clouds with increasing precipitation chances. This Tuesday in to Wednesday we have to watch closely as the atmosphere will be set-up for a snowstorm. However, the energy aloft is disorganized. So, most likely we will see maybe some light rain or snow, but at this moment it does not look like a big storm.
