Highs range from the upper 60s to low 70s with overnight lows deep into the 40s.<\/p>\n<p>The setup for the next week and change is one most of the models didn&#8217;t really see from the medium range. They saw something, but they underestimated the magnitude of the trough and the amount of cool air with it. They also did this ahead of the late August trough and cool.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve talked a lot in recent years how most models really struggle anymore with seeing cooler than normal temps and troughs, and that&#8217;s especially true with anything from the EURO family. The AI seems to be working on correcting that as it&#8217;s had a pretty good run.<\/p>\n<p>The operational EURO is trying to see something in the medium range for the second week of September.
