Discussion\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The last 5 days of August and Meteorological Summer will be marked by some changing weather. We first have an unsettled day today with a warm front moving into, but not fully through, the region. In fact, the front itself may never make all that much progress even into the WHW forecast area. This will be good news, as it will prevent the region from getting severe weather, which is a danger in the warm air mass just to the southwest of the front as a disturbance arrives and passes through the region from northwest to southeast later today. Worth monitoring for this area anyway, but I think we’re just in for some showers and maybe embedded thunder. Even the rainfall production from this event should be non-beneficial, in terms of chopping into the drought. Weak high pressure brings nicer weather for Friday. Then it’s back to unsettled weather again as a disturbance moves through, warm front passing by around dawn, cold front in the evening. This may allow several rain-free hours at any given location, but cannot rule out pop up showers \/ storms at any time either. Tropical moisture from the remains of Laura will probably be involved, somewhat, with the cold front, but the bulk of those remains will likely miss this area to the south. High pressure builds back in with rapidly improving weather by Sunday and glorious late summer weather to end the month of August on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 1-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure builds offshore and remains mostly in place while frontal systems from the west try to push into the region. Much of this period is likely to be rain-free with above normal temperatures. Best shower opportunities around September 2 and 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The general patterns should feature high pressure in control most of the time aloft with weak frontal systems trying to push through, resulting in above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
