Sunday Morning Update
Cool weather fans, do I have some good news for you!
The 70s are back in a major way this week, and potentially for longer.
A cold front moves through this morning, bringing showers and storms to the region. The greatest timeframe for any kind of rainfall arrives between 1 PM and 6 PM today. I’ve dropped rainfall coverage just a bit to account for the cold front moving through earlier in the day.
After the front passes, those fall like conditions arrive. Temperatures drop considerably, as does humidity, bringing a refreshing feel to the region.
Winds could be breezy at times Monday, which will make it feel slightly cooler during the day.
Throughout the week, we’ll see plenty of sunshine and temperatures getting into the mid 70s. This will feel pretty comparable to the climate if Milwaukee.
Turning to the tropics, Tropical Storm Fernand continues to meander to the northeast. This storm poses absolutely no threat to the east coast, and will dissipate in the coming days.
There is one disturbance we are watching just a bit north of South America, with a 40% chance of formation over the course of the next 7 days.
