We have one more day of humid conditions, but a wholesale pattern change will have things feeling much different around these parts beginning tomorrow, and continuing for the foreseeable future.

Note the drier air beginning to invade northern portions of IL, IN, and OH this morning. While dew points are still stuck in the mid-upper 60s, locally, that less humid air is heading south.

Note how the trough really amplifies next week across the eastern portion of the country. This will pull down an extended stretch of cooler, less humid air as we move through the better part of the first half of September.

A reinforcing cold front will sweep through here Saturday (yes, we’re giving in to building rain and storm chances into our Saturday forecast) with unsettled conditions.

This is likely going to set the stage for an overall wetter, cooler stretch of weather next week. Additional rain chances will arrive Tuesday and Thursday of next week.

8 of the past 10 days featured highs at or above the 90° mark, and was easily the hottest stretch of the summer. Looking ahead, a “hint” of fall shows up on the medium range charts just in time for us to kick off meteorological fall (officially, tomorrow).

Much more later, including our September Outlook…
