I hope your Thursday is off to a good start! We are looking at a beautiful day ahead, with warm temperatures and sunny to partly sunny skies. Highs should top out in the mid to upper 70s. Looking broader scale, hurricane Tammy is churning in the Central Atlantic. This system is not expected to impact the United States, primarily spinning across the same area for the next few days. Looking ahead locally, not too many big changes through the early weekend. Thereafter, a BIG pattern change. High pressure will remain dominate today through Saturday, keeping any rain chances west of the area. Consequently, warm temperatures and continued dry weather will be maintained. Eventually, this will break down late weekend, allowing a very slow moving cold front to slide through the area. Unfortunately, there will be a large lack in moisture associated. What does this mean? Don't plan on any big rainfall to start the new work week, but some scattered showers and maybe a very isolated storm will be possible in the far north (low likelihood). This is not good news as it relates to the ever-so growing drought, but it will allow for much cooler air to filter in next week. Showers will be possible (low chance) Sunday night, with the best chances on Monday (30-50%). Drier air and sunnier skies then filter back in by midweek. With a much cooler airmass returning by early this next week, frost and freeze is a concern. This will likely be our coolest overnight lows we have seen so far this season, so if you have any tender outdoor plants, plan to bring those in or cover them up Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night. Tuesday night will be the coldest, with valley lows around freezing and higher elevations well into the 20s. Look for the National Weather Service to issue frost/freeze related products early next week. You can see the highlighted hazards below as well. Dry and warm weather will continue through the early weekend, before an approaching cold front brings increased cloud cover and eventually scattered showers. A big cool off then follows into early next week. Have a great one!
