Finally the push of dry, cool air we’ve been waiting six months for! The front sure took its time yesterday. I was hoping to feel at least a bit of the cool last night, but I hit the sack before it arrived. But this morning a nice breeze from the north and slightly cooler conditions welcomed me as I left the house. So far we’ve dropped into the upper 60s.
There are a few scattered clouds still left over from the front, these clouds will dissipate later today giving way to mostly sunny skies. Low humidity will make it very comfortable, and cool air will continue to flow in from the north. So even with full sunshine, temperatures will only reach the lower 80s today.
Tonight under clear skies, most of the region except for the coastal areas should drop back into the upper 5os. We haven’t seen 50 degree temperatures since mid May. Temperatures will be a bit warmer Thursday morning thanks to increased humidity ahead of the next front approaching Friday.
Friday we’ll see another chance for thunderstorms with another passing front. It looks like the front will move through into the coastal waters and stall on Saturday. So a few lingering rain chances will be with us until Saturday afternoon. Sunday looks hot and humid, and next week looks summer like again.
