Good Thursday, everyone. Fall arrives today, but Mother Nature didn’t get the memo. Summertime is putting in some serious overtime across our part of the world. Hang in there, big changes are showing up as we roll into next week.

I’m not even talking about the weather for the next several days, because you already know the drill.

Change starts early next week with the potential for a big upper level low to cutoff. The models always struggle with placement and timing of these things, but the signal for something has been there for a long time now.

The GFS starts things off with a strong cold front passing through here late Monday into Tuesday with showers and thunderstorms abound…

gfs-2

Check out the HUGE temperature gradient along this boundary as it initially moves in…

The GFS slows that down across the Appalachian Mountains with another surge of heavy rain late Tuesday and Wednesday…

gfs-3

The European Model is just a littler slower with this big system with the bulk of the action arriving from Monday night through Wednesday…

As the upper low closes off and slows down, the European brings that right on top of our region for the second half of next week…

euro-3

There is the potential for some REAL DEAL cool and chill as that system rolls in here.

Have a great Thursday and take care.
