Good Saturday to one and all and thanks for dropping by the center for your weather fix. The past week has been dominated by a stubborn area of low pressure that was once Tropical Storm Lee. This system remains parked over the Ohio Valley, but is showing some signs of finally moving on.
One this low kicks on out… we get in on a few nice days before another big time shot of chill takes aim on us and much of the eastern half of the country for the middle and end of next week.
The upper low of today will finally begin to open up as we head into Sunday and the NAM at 500mb shows this very well…
Even though it begins to slowly bust a move on out of here… it will continue to produce a fair amount of clouds and the threat for some showers and thunderstorms. These will be scattered out there today with better coverage likely showing up Sunday afternoon and evening.
Highs today and Sunday will likely make the low and mid 70s for many areas. Keep in mind this is still below normal by several degrees for this time of year.
I still can’t rule out a leftover shower on Monday as we see a bit more in the way of sunshine. Temps should warm back into the 70s. Tuesday looks like the warmest day as readings flirt with 80. Winds should begin to pick up and some afternoon clouds will increase.
This increase in clouds is ahead of a cold front that will move in here for Wednesday. This front is being pushed by one heck of a cold push of air diving south out of Canada. I have two trains of though on how this all plays out for the end of the week. One such thought has the front just blasting through here Wednesday with a heck of a chill behind it just like the European Model is showing…
The other possibility is this front gets to about the Tennessee Valley on Wednesday and puts the brakes on allowing for a couple of waves of low pressure to move along it. That scenario would bring us a fair amount of rain for the second half of next week that would also go along with cool daytime temps.
We shall see which of those thoughts ends up being closest to reality. Needless to say… there is no doubting this is a fall pattern that has locked in.
Let’s get you caught up on the weather of today as many of you will be out and about with about 70 thousand of you doing some tailgating at Commonwealth Stadium. No matter what you’re doing, we have you set up to track our Saturday weather…

good morning from the town of wayne, wva. at 10:10am the sky is partly sunny with a temp in the upper 50s at 59 degrees. i can not believe i am first to start with at 10am in the morning and second i can not believe that all 3 comments that were made on the post on friday was from me. come on people, i know the weather is boring right now but some of you mets or people that know a little bit more about the weather can find someting to say on a boring weather day. if nothing else keep us up to date on weather conditions a couple of times a day. all jokes aside, i appreciate every one of you and i really do enjoy all comments because i really do learn stuff from them. i can not believe that we have made it through the 1st full week, well, almost, if we make it today, that the temp has not made it to 70 degrees and that is saying something since it was just flirting with 100 degrees just last saturday. i agree with you chris, now that is extreme. if you want normal go out to california. thanks for your time and may god bless you and your family.
I can’t watch the Cats. So sad, they are terrible. i love the Cats and am very disappointed. Bring on the SNOW!!!!
snowlover, cats are up 27-13, not near as painful to watch as last week! It’s hard to support them when they are down, but that is a fan, through thick and thin. Hope you continue to cheer them on, they came out playing in the second half. 🙂 GO BIG BLUE
You are so right and I did watch the second half. Just a little discouraged in the first half. Always a Cats fan I think it’s bred in you. Just hope they continue to improve and beat Louisville next week. Can’t wait for Chris’s winter forecast and I hope it is a good one.
good evening from the town of wayne. at 8pm the temp is a very comfy 71 degrees. the day actually turned out to be the pick day of the week. the day started with partly sunny and 59 then it turned ominous cloudy looking around 2:30pm with a few spits of rain around the area then it cleared off a few hours later and that is where we stand at now. the temp did make it to 75 degrees so our run of 5 straight days with temps stuck pretty much in the 60s came to an end today. however, so far only 1 day this week where there was no rain at all and that was thursday. thanks for your time and may god bless you and your family.
If we only win one more game it HAS to be Loserville! I’m proud of them though, a lot to learn with new players. I”m ready for the cold to get here and STAY! 🙂
