Quiet Monday... some rain chances coming...

It did indeed wind up to be very chilly around here Friday and Saturday with the wedge in play. However, it was a bit milder yesterday, and today will be milder still.

Highs this afternoon should warm into the 70s across the region under a partly to mostly cloudy sky.

A cold front is located near the Mississippi River, and that front will get close enough to the region by tomorrow to bring in some shower chances. In fact, some showers are possible in some areas as soon as later tonight.

Some showers also look possible at times Wednesday with highs in the upper 80s to lower 80s.

A big upper level trough will carve out in the nation's midsection mid-week, and that will drive another front our way Thursday and Friday. I will highlight some shower and storm chances in the forecast for Thursday and Friday.

At the moment, the upcoming weekend is looking very nice with highs in the 70s and a good bit of sun.

Tropics...

There is a tropical disturbance in the central Atlantic that continues to slowly organize. This system has a pretty good shot of becoming our next tropical system in the next couple of days.

Winter Outlook...

I am starting to get lots of questions about my thoughts on the upcoming Winter. I am beginning to work on some ideas, and as always, I will try to have my full Winter Outlook out by Halloween.
