Forecast Discussion

The stationary front the was to our south and east for the last few days has dissipated. The upper-level low that pumped so much moisture into the Southern Appalachians is over New Orleans and exiting to the SW. We return to a more typical summer look today--daytime heating leads to afternoon and early evening showers and thundershowers. Temperatures are pleasant but warmer than the last couple days.

A front moves through from the northwest Thursday. Scattered showers and storms will be in play through early evening followed by partial clearing Thursday night and slightly cooler temperatures.

High pressure will be in control Friday and Saturday. Pleasant temperatures will rule with lots of sunshine--the opposite of last Friday and Saturday. A shower or thundershower moving out of the Ohio Valley has to be accounted for Saturday night. Saturday will be warmer than Friday as Thursday's front moves back to the northeast as a warm front.

The next cold front from the west moves through Monday. Similar to what we have going today and tomorrow--scattered showers and thunderstorms will be around Sunday and remain possible Monday until the front passes to our east.

Monday's front is packing MUCH cooler air (third time this month!). Tuesday has lots of sun but much cooler temperatures.
