So Long Summer...
How nice was that...82, 87 and 85 degrees...I'm still in a weekend weather coma. It really doesn't and may not again in our lifetimes get any better than that. But the summery feel is gone as temps dropped 20 degrees from the weekend into the 60s and tomorrow we lose the sun.
We have two weather systems headed our way for the second half of the week both will supply us with rain. The first is rolling up the East Coast and will spread showers our way beginning tomorrow evening and will last through the morning on Thursday. It looks like with this first batch the great lift and energy will stay just west of us so the steadiest and heaviest of rain will likely fall in Western NE.
The second system will actually be more intense and is coming our way from the Midwest where right now it's just a simple coldfront but when it gets to us it will have much more upper level support and a pinching off jetstream will lead to potent windswept showers Friday afternoon along an occluded / coldfront...there may even be a few rumbles of thunder during the passage of the front.
While this coming weekend won't hold a candle to what we just experienced, it is at least looking dry as the departing system will cut-off to our north creating blustery W/SW wind conditions. Diurnal cumulus clouds will fly across the sky and temps will be much more October-like...in the mid 60s.
