<\/p>\nGood Sunday, everyone. Well, the biggest holiday of the summer is now behind us and it’s taking the heat and humidity with it. The setup ahead features several upper-level systems dropping into the region. That’s something you don’t see a lot of in the middle of summer.<\/p>\n
Scattered showers and storms are showing up again today and a few of them may be strong or locally severe. The threat isn’t the greatest as you can see on today’s Severe Weather Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Any storm that’s out there can produce wind damage and large hail, especially in the east.<\/p>\n
The first in a series of upper-level lows spin through here from later today through Wednesday…<\/p>\n
The end result with this kind of setup would be for an increased threat for some spiraling bands of showers and storms. Again, not something you see a lot of in July, but here we are. This animation from the GFS starts this evening and ends Wednesday morning…<\/p>\n The Canadian is pretty similar…<\/p>\n Watch how several other upper level systems drop into this part of the world later this week into the following week as a massive heat ridge focuses on the western half of the country…<\/p>\n That’s pretty wild to see this time of year. Unsettled weather with above normal rainfall and normal to below normal temps come from those kinds of setups. Here’s the GFS showing the showers and storms spinning through during this same time period…<\/p>\n The Canadian doesn’t go out as far in time, but has a very similar overall look…<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
