Good Tuesday, folks. More in the way of scattered showers and storms are on the way for the next couple of days. This action is ahead of the first in a series of cold fronts that will bring much better weather into our part of the world. The air behind these fronts will grow cooler with each shot all the way through the middle of August.

Highs today will make a run toward 90 for areas who miss out on any scattered shower or storm action. The storms that are out there could put down some very heavy rains that could cause some local high water issues. Some strong boomers will also be possible.

A cold front dives in from the northwest late Wednesday with showers and storms becoming a bit more widespread. Watch how the storms progress through here from Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday…

That’s some MUCH better air coming in behind that front on Thursday. Check out the highs on Thursday…

Similar temps will be noted on Friday with fairly low humidity levels.

Additional cooler than normal shots are lining up for the first half of August. Temps will spike just a bit, as usual, ahead of each front that moves through, but the overall theme is cooler. Look at the dips showing up on the GFS Ensembles…

GFS 2

Even the GFS is FINALLY starting to see this. Check out the departures by early next week…

I guess this means the GFS weather reporters will be changing forecasts for next week? 😉
