Good Friday, folks. We’ve made it to the end of the week and our weekend is looking about as nice as you will ever find around here. We have an honest to goodness blast of September temps blowing in for the next several days. Woot!

Let’s start out there today and roll forward. Highs are in the 80s with a mix of sun and clouds with winds picking up as a cold front sweeps in from the northwest. There’s the smallest chance for a shower or storm, especially in the east.

You can track that small threat and watch what’s left of Debby roll toward New England on our radars…

Much cooler winds surge in starting this evening and those really kick in over the weekend. Highs reach the upper 70s to low 80s with humidity levels about as low as you will ever find for the middle of August.

Lows this weekend are deep into the 50s…

Lows then drop into the 50s again early Monday, mainly in the east and northeast…

The numbers may then drop back into the 50s by Tuesday morning…

The chance for a few showers and storms will be noted on Monday as our pattern slowly tries to become more active. It does so with additional troughs swinging into our region and the eastern half of the country to keep our temps below normal next week into the following weekend.

The models are in good agreement on this and also show another tropical system off the east coast.

Here’s the upper level anomalies from the EURO…

And the GFS…

Those are really trying to go toward a big time cutoff system in our region. At the surface, you can see the ramp up in rain potential during this same time period.

Here’s the GFS…

And the Euro…

That possible tropical system off the east coast is still well out into the Atlantic but the National Hurricane Center shows the potential development in the coming days…

Make it a fantastic Friday and take care.
