Discussion\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Warm weather will be the rule through the weekend. You’ll notice an increase in humidity during these days as well, though not to oppressive levels, as the wind flow becomes southerly during the weekend. Continuing to keep rain, which we badly need, out of the forecast through the weekend. That will change as we get to the start of next week. As has been previously mentioned, an upper level pattern change will dig a trough into the Midwest and Great Lakes starting at the beginning of next week. This is likely to be a slow process. Initially as this occurs we will remain on the warmer side but there will be higher humidity and a risk of showers as a frontal boundary approaches from the west. Timing the greatest chance for showers for Monday and Tuesday is not really anything that can be done yet, so this part will be tweaked as we get closer to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 30 – OCTOBER 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slow passage of upper level trough with the trough axis likely staying west of the region. This will allow for additional wet weather episodes but also with drier interludes. Timing the individual rain threats is difficult this far in advance but September 30, October 2, and October 4 would be my educated guesses at this point. While I highly doubt this shift in the pattern leads to an ending of the drought, as that will take quite some time, any rainfall we do get will help, and will be a more immediate help in alleviating our high fire danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 5-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zonal flow expected but mean trough may hang in the Great Lakes region. This would be a drier trend but not absent of at least brief rainfall threats. Temperatures would be variable but average fairly close to normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
