YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, well well well it’s feeling most autumnal out there this morning, and from what I’m seeing it’s going to feel most autumnal through the middle of September at least.
Of course, I stay focused on the next 7-10 days primarily because in doing this for over 13 years now (and watching the weather for over 40 years) I have seen enough longer-term prognostication ideas go straight into the trash heap, but there really are very few if any signals showing a big increase rainfall, humidity, or temperatures through the end of next week as it looks now.
The next 4 days look peaceful, mostly sunny, dry, and pleasantly warm during the day, with an early Fall chill at night.
All outdoor activities this week and overnight will be supported.
We can thank an incoming massive, ambling, lumbering high pressure system for our good meteorological fortunes this week.
Highs reach the upper 60s to miid 70s today with lows in the low to md 40s.
Highs reach the mid to upper 70s Wednesday through Friday with lows in the upper 40s to low 50s.
High pressure will build east of us by Friday, and with a more southerly flow from this feature, Friday night lows should rise up into the upper 50s.
By the weekend our humidity will come up a bit, and I will be watching the interaction of and impacts from three atmospheric features: an upper level and surface front to our west over the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley; remnant high pressure trying to build southwest down into New England centered over Atlantic Canada; and a coastal storm well east of the Mid-Atlantic coastline.
The timeframe of potential impacts would be *any time* (not the whole time) between Saturday and Monday.
For now, it looks like the upper low west of us deepens too quickly and slows down, thereby allowing Saturday to be less showery than it otherwise could be.
Adding to this scenario is a coastal storm too far out to sea to impact us, and with that high pressure piece mixing dry air into our region on Saturday.
Based on all this, for now, Saturday looks to produce some scattered showers at times with highs in the low to mid 70s, with a better chance fro showers from that upper low as it comes east to impact us on Sunday into Monday.
There looks to be more sunshine and dry weather next week after our weekend system moves through, but it is the Saturday to Monday trends that I will be watching most closely as this week wears on, to help parse out and clarify our weather impacts in future weather reports.
Have a great day!
