Good morning folks, high pressure will continue to build southeastward through the region today, with abundant sunshine and highs in the 75-80º range.
Tonight we’ll enjoy one more very cool and clear evening with lows dipping into the mid 50s… crisp!
By tomorrow, the high will be to our south and we’ll consequently begin to warm up with highs climbing well into the 80s with some upper 80s possible in lower valley locations under sunny skies. Lows will be in the low to mid 60s with humidity starting to creep up.
As an aside (and as of now), it looks like these little warm-ups moving into September won’t be super long-lived, and shouldn’t be as intense as earlier this summer.
In other words, we’re in a new, late-summer pattern of little heat builds, followed by troughs that cool things down and dry things out.
This writer is squeal-level happy about this news. THIS is my kind of Summer weather, and I will gladly take it. I hope you will, too, but I get some folks appreciate core summer weather.
For Saturday, it will become humid with a storm system and cold front combo well to northwest. Highs will reach the 85-90º range under mostly sunny skies, and lows will drop into the low to mid 60s.
The Sunday and Monday timeframe looks to feature a pre-frontal trough region moving through, which will spread some instability and humidity in, and allow for some scattered shower and thunderstorm potential with highs in the low to mid 80s both days and humid conditions.
Monday into early Tuesday is when the cold front moves through, and after that shower chances should wane, and we should dry out and cool down into next week.
There is uncertainty as to whether or not our flow will become more west-to-east in its pattern, or if a couple of more dips or undulations in the mid-levels of the atmosphere (i.e. troughs) will cycle through, and that can impact temperatures and precip, so I will refine as we get closer, but it looks fairly dry and seasonable past Tuesday next week at this point.
Have a great day peeps!
