A broad upper ridge will take up shop in the week ahead across the Ohio Valley and Northeast. Meanwhile, a trough will settle into the Northwest. Well above normal temperatures can be expected across the central portion of the country, extending from the West Coast into the Ohio Valley and Mid Atlantic. Below normal temperatures will be found across the Pacific Northwest and along the Gulf Coast. An active weather pattern is on deck across the northwest Gulf and eastern Great Lakes. Elsewhere, generally quiet times are expected.We think around 0.50” of rain will fall during the forecast period (most likely not until late in the week).
Forecast Period: 09.11.21 through 09.18.21
A quiet weather pattern is expected to dominate this forecast period, locally. A southwesterly airflow will draw unseasonably warm and muggy air northward today, but really begin to be felt as we progress into early next week. We aren’t talking about organized precipitation chances until late in the forecast period (centered on Friday and next Saturday) as a cold front slowly begins to sink south into the area. Until then, an extended period of warm and increasingly humid air will dominate the weather headlines.
