A noisy thunderstorm rolled through the northern suburbs last night.  I was awaken from a deep sleep around 12:30 to plenty of lightning, thunder, and heavy rain.  While there are a couple showers around this morning, those will track east rather quickly and a pleasant northwest wind will usher in amazingly cool and refreshing air for this time of year.  Simply put (yet again) today and Saturday will feature weather that just cannot get any better this time of year.  We forecast many outlying communities away from the city to reach the upper 40s Saturday morning and highs both today and Saturday will only climb into the lower 70s.  Ahhh, anyone else craving fall?!  For those summer lovers, have no fear as heat and humidity will build late in the weekend and really set the tone for the week ahead.  Additionally, a couple round of showers and heavy thunderstorms will be possible next week.  Right now we target Monday and Thursday for best chances of heavy rain.

Saturday Morning Weather Chit-Chat!

A beautiful weekend is underway.  Stepping out on the deck this morning for my morning coffee was much more refreshing when compared to the past few days.  Dew points in the 40s along with temperatures around 60 made for a very nice feel this morning.

This morning’s visible satellite shows clear skies continue.  Definitely plan to get outside today, but with that sun screen!

Most of Sunday will be nice, as well, but clouds and humidity levels will increase Sunday afternoon and evening and a couple of showers and thunderstorms will be possible as early as Sunday night.

Future radar shows scattered thunderstorms around the region Sunday night.

Warmth and humidity will return to oppressive levels for the better part of next week and this will help add fuel to the fire for heavy rain and potentially strong thunderstorms.  Model data handles the timing differently with next week’s storm system (as is usual at this stage), but agrees on the heavy rain potential.  Widespread 1.5″ to 2″ rainfall appears to be a good bet at this point next week.

Upcoming 10 day rainfall potential, per the Canadian forecast model, shows the wet pattern unfolding, including excessive rains for some locales.

The GFS (below) pushes the front south a bit quicker and in return delivers drier air next weekend.  The European forecast model doesn’t agree.

Also of interest, the GFS continues to spin up Gulf of Mexico “mischief” late next week…
