High pressure ushers in lots of sunshine and seasonal temperatures today and Wednesday. Weak forcing brings chance for rain Thursday & Friday. A nice weekend is on tap with highs in the mid/upper 80s. Rain returns late Sunday into Monday of next week.
For the rest of today...High pressure gains control over the eastern US today as low pressure center exits east, onto the Atlantic Coast. Limited cloud cover still lingering in our mountain counties will burn off later today as surface high pressure gains better grip on our area. So plenty of sunshine is in store today. Temperatures will be right around average for this time of year. Look for a high of 80.
For tonight...our forecast will stay clear and calm with widespread fog building into Wednesday morning. Lows will fall to 56.
Wednesday, we'll see plenty of sunshine as high pressure continues its reign over the eastern US. Highs will be in the mid/upper 80s. However another trough crossing the southern Great Lakes will bring limited moisture into the area allowing for more cloud cover to develop Wednesday afternoon & evening. Warmer air will also be lifting north ahead of the front, hence the warmer temps.
Upper trough & associated cold front will advance closer to our area Thursday providing mostly cloudy skies & a chance for periods of rain and perhaps a stray rumble of thunder Thursday afternoon & into Friday. Upper level instability & available moisture appear to be insufficient for significant thunderstorm development. Patchy rain & strong gusty winds are still likely as the front crosses our area late Friday.
High pressure with sunshine and warmer temps are on tap this weekend. This will set the stage for one last hoo-rah for all the returning students-that is..until game day, 09/04/11 against Marshall!! Kickoff is @ 3:30!
