Forecast Discussion

With no tropical activity affecting our weather and the transition to fall weather complete. Forecasting has become much simpler during the past week and will be for the next week or two. The two primary takeaways for the next seven days are mostly dry and cooler than average.

Three fronts move through during the next seven days: one today, another Sunday night, and a third Wednesday night. None of them have significant rain; however, Sunday night's front has the most moisture.

Today is pleasant with increasing afternoon clouds and the slight chance of a late-day or evening passing shower.

Cool high pressure takes control of the Eastern U. S. Friday and Saturday. Our temperatures will be more than 10 degrees cooler than average. Valley frost is likely early Saturday.

Clouds increase again Sunday, and a few showers are likely late Sunday through early Monday.

Monday is cooler again, but slightly warmer weather develops Tuesday and Wednesday. The third front may produce a shower Wednesday evening.

Two disturbances are in the Caribbean. Both are moving west. Neither are a threat to our weather any time soon. One in the central Caribbean may become the next named tropical storm (Gamma) during the next 5 days. Another disturbance is west of the Lesser Antilles but has no chance of development for at least 4-5 days.
