Good Tuesday, everyone. We have another cold front moving into the region today, bringing a few thunderstorms ahead of it, and a little cooler air behind it. As we’ve been talking about for a while, this is likely part of a larger overall pattern shift toward a cooler second half of summer.
Scattered storms will flare up ahead of the front today, with a broken line of storms developing along the actual boundary. That settles into the region by late this afternoon into the evening hours and a few could be on the strong side. Track away…
A scattered shower or storm may linger into Wednesday, especially across the south. Slightly cooler than normal air blows in behind the front for Wednesday and Thursday with humidity levels staying in pretty good shape. The same front is helping steer Chris away from the east coast…
Seasonal temps return late week into the weekend as scattered storms kick back in. There is still strong model support for a deepening trough across our region next week…
Some pretty good rounds of storms may usher in this much cooler than normal pattern…
The European Ensembles are also locking in on this cool shot showing up next week…
The CFS seasonal model is showing a cooler look for the rest of the month…
Make it a great day and take care.
I’ll be waiting for it.
Thanks Chris for the update. Are all weather models indicating the development of a trough in the eastern part of the country for the rest of the summer and Autumn ? Have a great day everyone.
I’ll take that cooler air next week! I work church camp (90 middle schoolers) and it is mostly outside, so bring it on!
Everyone have a great week!
Machell
Thanks as always Chris!
What’s the forecast look like for Ft Lauderdale the 1st week of August? Hopefully no tropical systems!
You’re asking for a weather forecast 3 weeks out??? Yeah good luck.
Easy now. Not a forecast, but a potential pattern or chance. Chris and the models he uses look that far out, but I would take any feel with a grain of salt.
Thanks Chris. I have finally surfaced this morning from a horrible virus the past 24. Haven’t poked my head out the door since Sunday night. But don’t mind a couple of cooler days. Just hoping the long range isn’t saying constant rain to go with it. Not ready to give up summer, especially in mid July! Hope everyone has a pleasant day. I’m just happy to be feeling human at this point!
Who is giving up on Summer? The heat and humidity have been dominant for quite awhile now. Long range models are more inaccurate then the thermometer has been at SDF.
Long range very inaccurate. Even short range like 3 or 4 days out is inaccurate. Example, like last Tuesday, the forecast for that following Friday was for a front to come through with widespread thunderstorms followed by a cool down. The cooldown happened but the storms were isolated at best.
We had what, 2-3 days with temps in the 93-95 degree range with some humidity and people are already throwing in the towel about not being able to take any more summer?? I don’t get it. Summer of 2012, now THAT was hot…. Hot enough to ruin a good battery in the cadillac I had.
