So it’s September. The first month of Meteorological Autumn. Those first really crisp days and chilly nights are here, right? Wrong! It’s still Summer, and the pattern reflects this. Despite the fact that a cold front slid into the region late Sunday, it’s not doing a whole lot of cool\/dry air delivery, and in fact it’s really just washing out as upper level high pressure remains dominant, and will do so through most of this week. A southwesterly surface flow will allow heat and humidity to gain full control Tuesday, but another cold front will try to cut into this with a shower and thunderstorm risk in the afternoon and evening. Slightly drier air will arrive Wednesday, which will still be a warm day, as will Thursday. And as we head toward the end of the week, it still remain warm to very warm, with humidity returning again Friday into Saturday. A stronger cold front may move through later in the weekend with showers and thunderstorms. Timing of this is uncertain this far in advance, but for now I’m going to lean toward a slower timing with impact more Sunday versus Saturday.<\/p>\n
