Good Tuesday, everyone. It’s another day of pleasant temps across the commonwealth as our trough slowly begins to pull out of the region. This will be replaced by more normal temps for the remainder of the week as we watch tropical moisture try to impact the region this weekend and next week.

The trough across the eastern half of the country has had some serious staying power over the past few weeks and continues out there today…

Highs today range from the upper 70s to low 80s for most of the region with the west being a few degrees warmer. There’s still the chance for a popup shower or storm going up across the eastern half of the state today. Here are your radars to follow along…

Temps from here start to increase toward more typical late August levels with mainly dry skies.

The EURO continues to throw some tropical moisture in here for the end of the week into the start of the weekend, resulting in scattered showers and storms…

From there, the likelihood for additional showers and storms is with us for the closing days of August…

The tropics are going to come to life over the next few weeks as we go into, what should be, a big time burst of activity. Here’s how things are looking out there right now…

The GFS is starting to pick up on this potential with a deepening eastern US trough with a tropical system off the southeast to start September…

In the coming days, I’m going to be looking at the overall driving forces as we close out summer and head into the start of fall. La Nina is all the rage for the third year in a row. What does this mean for the winter ahead?

Make it a good one and take care.
