Good Monday, folks. We have another steamy day out there as a strong cold front drops in from the northwest tonight. This will touch off a few showers and thunderstorms, but the main story will be the September pattern setting up behind it. This pattern may be complete with a Gulf tropical system that has a chance to impact our weather by the weekend or early next week.
Winds are gusty today as temps spike ahead of our front. This boundary will throw a few showers and storms at us by the evening…
Very nice air arrives behind this front later tonight and carries us through the week. Lows by Tuesday morning will be in the 50s for many…
That string of 50s likely rolls through the rest of the week for lows. You can see a little rebound Wednesday morning ahead of another push of cooler air…
Then the numbers settle back down for Thursday morning…
You can then see the west starting to warm by Friday morning…
That will be ahead of a strong front that may bring strong storms in here to start the weekend. This happens as a tropical system is likely heading toward Texas or Louisiana. The NHC continues to highlight this…
Here’s how the EURO sees that system interacting with two fronts moving in here from the weekend into early next week…
That would dig another trough in here later next week and the 7 day 500mb average height anomaly from July 21-28 shows this…
That’s probably accompanied by another wetter than normal period. 🤬
Have a great day and take care.
Here is a summary of the severe weather that occurred over parts of the Chicago area and NE Illinois on Saturday afternoon. http://weather.gov/lot/11June2021
It is sad to see all that tree damage, but that’s Mother Nature. Yesterday, here in central Kentucky we had Sunny skies and a very unpleasant afternoon high of 91 degrees. Our first thundershower this late Spring occurred around 5:00 pm. Looking forward to the cooler temperatures through the week.
Yesterday………the thunder was constant all afternoon. There was a storm just to the northwest barely touching my area, but the lightning must have been crazy with it. It kept redeveloping over the same area……and the thunder didn’t stop for the longest time.
