Changes ahead....eventually.....

The warm and dry weather will continue through the remainder of the work week with highs well above the seasonal averages. In fact, many spots through Friday, and maybe even Saturday, will remain at least 10 degrees above average for high temps.

However, my confidence is much higher today in the timing of a significant pattern chance. Those weather changes begin this weekend.

A strong cold front will approach later Saturday, and that front does look to bring the chance of some showers and storms, especially Saturday night into Sunday.

That front will be propelled southward by a significant trough that will carve itself out across the eastern US. If that does indeed occur, and I am more confident today that it will, then we will wind up with highs at or even a bit below normal by early next work week.

Tropics...

Igor is becoming a non-tropical low pressure area today as it races through the north Atlantic.

Tropical Storm Lisa has developed in the eastern Atlantic. It looks to rather slowly meander around the eastern Atlantic Ocean through the week.

I continue to see good signs that another tropical system will likely develop in the Caribbean Sea later in the week. If that does occur, it could wind up being a potential problem for the US way down the road.
