Category: Rain
The weather this weekend has been simply stunning. We’ve enjoyed unseasonably cool and refreshing air to go along with wall-to-wall sunshine. If you’re a fan of the unseasonably refreshing conditions, you’re in luck, as another blast of September-like air will arrive next weekend.
A cold front will sweep through the state Friday morning. While we’ll handle the specifics from a precipitation perspective in later posts, most widespread showers and thunderstorms appear to arrive Thursday. A deep trough will take up residence across the Mid West and East next weekend and result in temperatures more like late-September that early-August.
Look for fairly steady or slowly falling temperatures Friday afternoon (how often can we say that in early August?!) along with a gusty northwest breeze. That will set the tone for the weekend that will include low temperatures in the lower to middle 50s and highs in the middle 70s. Unlike this weekend, we’ll have a few more clouds and the threat of a passing shower with enough upper level energy around.
Much more later! Enjoy your Sunday, friends!

Highlights:
- Wall-to-wall sunshine
- Comfortable temperatures
- Rain chances return
- Even cooler next weekend
Can’t Beat This Weather…The short-term is very simple. High pressure will dominate our pattern through early next week and result in very refreshing conditions. With a north-northeast flow in place, unseasonably cool and dry air will continue to flow into the region through the weekend. Get out and enjoy it!
Temperatures will slowly moderate heading into mid week and moisture will return ahead of a cold front Wednesday into Thursday. Greatest overall rain coverage should arrive on the scene Thursday, including chances of thunderstorms. Similar to this week, the cold front will pass Thursday night/ Friday morning and result in a drier ending to the work week. An early look at next weekend shows another anomalous trough digging into the Mid West. The end result will likely be temperatures that are even cooler than this weekend. Mid-upper 70s for highs, perhaps?!
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 1.00″

The new JMA Weeklies are in and highlighted by the following:
- An unseasonably cool close to July
- Worst of the summer heat is behind us
- Warmest anomalies along the East and West Coasts
Week 1:
A trough will sink into the central and eastern portions of the country and result in rather widespread below normal and quite refreshing conditions as we close the month of July. Along with the cool, dry air will come an extended stretch of rain-free conditions through the latter portions of next week.
Week 2:
The JMA suggests the mean trough position will remain across the central portions of the country with signals of ridging developing along the Northwest coast. Cool, wet weather (compared to average) is forecast central as the heat continues across the West. We also note developing warmth across the Northeast region.
Weeks 3-4:
Seasonal temperatures are set to unfold across the central late August with warmest anomalies painting themselves across the Northeast and Northwest portions of the country. The pattern, locally, is set to become more active from a precipitation perspective as wet conditions return.

Highlights:
- Less humid air builds in
- Mid-week storms
- Refreshing weekend
Pleasant Open To The Work Week…High pressure will build overhead today and result in a dry open to the work week. A surface front moved south through the region late last night and north winds will help drier air continue to build in as we move through the day. By this evening, we’ll really feel the more refreshing brand of air.
We’ll remain rain-free through Tuesday before our next cold front approaches late Wednesday into Thursday. Most of Wednesday will remain dry, as well, but we’ll mention chances of a late night thunderstorm arriving from the northwest. Better overall coverage of showers and thunderstorms can be expected Thursday.
Timing is our friend this go around as the front passes Thursday evening, allowing a much drier and cooler air mass to build in. Considering this is the last weekend of July, it’ll feel very, very pleasant.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 1.00″

The new JMA Weeklies are in and highlighted by the following:
- Central hot pattern doesn’t last
- Seasonal pattern takes hold
- Heat builds across the Northeast region
Week 1:
Hottest anomalies remain across the central region, but the days are numbered on this pulse of heat and the JMA Weeklies suggest a cooler, more seasonal, pattern looms to close July and open August. We note the wet regime across the Southwest region, where associated cooler anomalies are also located.
Week 2:
It’s a “book end” hot pattern that includes heat along both the Northwest region and a developing hot pattern over the Northeast. The central region, including here on the home front, looks very seasonal. With a subtle northwest flow aloft, we’ll have to be mindful of storm complexes at times.
Weeks 3-4:
Our attention is drawn to the heat across the Northeast region and the cooler, wetter regime (relative to average) across the Southwest. Locally, there aren’t any strong indications for big time heat or heavy rains.
