Active Pattern Underway

A progressive weather pattern has developed across the eastern U.S., which should bring us quick changes over the next several days. Looking at the 7-day forecast, you'll find highs in the mid-70s and upper 80s, as well as rainy days followed by mostly sunny days. It's the kind of pattern typical for this time of the year, as we begin to transition from Summer into Autumn, and the jet stream dips farther south. Our rainfall surplus for 2008 is an even 6" today, and will likely be supplemented by thunderstorms on Tuesday and Friday.

Quiet Monday

Monday afternoon feels much warmer than yesterday thanks to the humid conditions. Afternoon readings will peak in the upper 80s. Expect partly cloudy skies tonight with morning lows in the upper 60s.

The weather will become more active on Tuesday as a cold front approaches from the west. This will likely trigger some strong storms with damaging winds.

A big cool down arrives on Wednesday with high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s.
