Another beautiful, Fall-Like day on tap
It's been another crisp night for this time of year thanks to the starry sky and light wind. Temps have tumbled back into the 50s which is closer to where we should be in late September or early October. The area of low pressure aloft is still impacting us with some "energy" aloft circulating through. That'll make for more clouds in the heating of the day. At the surface, this area of high pressure expands east, making for more sunshine on Friday The wind turns back around from the SW allowing a warming trend to develop. Temperatures climb back into the 80s by Friday with the middle 80s on tap this weekend. With that wind flow, we'll also tap into some more moisture. We'll start to notice a stickier feel in the air along with the warmer temperatures. Upper ridging helps get us back into the upper 80s as we kick-off next week. The above average temps combine with more humidity, likely making it feel more like the lower 90s. Eventually, a couple of disturbances slide our way early to late in the workweek. That'll make for stray shower and storm chances. None of the days are looking like washouts but we'll keep the slim chance in the forecast through much of next week. A stronger system looks to slide our way and that could eventually bring higher shower and storm chances Friday into next weekend. It's still over a week a way but it's something we'll continue to monitor.
