Forecast Discussion
- Cooler Today and Monday With Much Less Humidity Today and Monday`s weather will be governed by synoptic scale ridging and surface high pressure that will translate eastward through the Midwest and Great Lakes. Following Saturday night`s cold frontal passage, cold air advection this morning is ushering in 850 mb temperatures by 18Z that are at least 10 Celsius cooler than 24 hours ago. The feel of humidity will be drastically lower today compared to yesterday, with dew points no longer around 70 F but instead around 50 F. Partly cloudy skies this morning with stratocumulus should give way to plenty of sunshine by afternoon as much drier midlevel air infiltrates into the diurnal PBL. - Potential for Thunderstorms Late Tuesday into Early Wednesday A southwesterly low level jet moves into the CWA during the day on Tuesday. This feature will advect in a moist and unstable airmass by the afternoon. PWAT`s are progged to climb up to around 2 inches Tuesday night. A weakening cold front is shown to push down from the northwest later Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning with scattered to numerous showers/storms forming out ahead of it. Models are in relative agreement on this scenario. Ensemble QPF trends still support higher POP`s during this period as most members are showing measurable QPF. Ensemble wind gusts from the GFS and ECMWF have a signal for gusty conditions as well. Values over 25 knots are looking possible.

I’ve put off a few outdoor projects because it’s been just too warm and humid. Today is the day. Cool, dry, and breezy. Have a great day, friends.
Got a heavy shower at my house last night around 11:15. This morning the sky has a fall look to it. In about 2 more months meteorological fall begins.
It looks and feel more like mid to late September this morning.

Yes indeed!
Great cool temps today and beyond! Who would have thought? Keep the below normal temps rocking! Incredible!
