Discussion\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No big changes in this outlook, just a series of expected forecast tweaks. Cloudiness will be more dominant today as a humid southerly air flow becomes more established. This still occurs without any rainfall today, but that changes as we get into the first 3 days of the new week which are also the final 3 days of September, and the shower threat appears in the pre-dawn hours of Monday and continues off and on through Wednesday. Tuesday night through Wednesday still appears to be the most likely time period for the most widespread shower activity. Any rainfall we get will be helpful for our drought situation, which still won’t be breaking any time soon. Immediate help will come for quelling our currently high fire danger. A final wave of low pressure that moves through Wednesday evening, based on current timing, should pull a cold front through the region and open the door for a cooler air mass, indirectly from Canada, via the Great Lakes and Midwest, as October arrives on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a trough axis still to the west of our region, we can expect a couple opportunities for unsettled weather. Continuing to lean toward October 2 & 4 as the most likely wetter days. Temperatures variable, trending cooler. For those unfamiliar, a trough of low pressure is basically a dip in the jet stream and where your unsettled weather usually occurs and the axis of it is basically its mid point. The unsettled weather will often be more likely to the east of the axis. So the set-up described above leaves us vulnerable to additional wet weather, which would be welcomed if it occurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generally zonal (west to east) flow is expected with overall drier weather, but a couple minor unsettled weather threats. Cooler air probably dominates the first part of the period followed by a warming trend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
