Some Rain This Week, then Warm and Dry
Monday, September 11th, 2006We are likely to get our first rain in a week over the next few days, and while it’s not likely to be heavy, it could be the last decent rain we see for the next two weeks. The high pressure system that’s keeping Hurricane Florence and the newly formed Tropical Storm Gordon from getting very close to the United States is also bringing us pleasant weather. Over the next 48 hours, a strengthening southwesterly flow will allow some of the rain that’s been over the Florida panhandle for the past few days to come our way.
After that, things clear out, and we move into a period of warmer than normal temperatures with lower than normal rain that’s likely to take us into the beginning of the last week of September. Warmer than normal temps this time of year keep us in the mid 80s, as opposed to the normal of around 80 degrees. The precipitation forecast could change, however, if a tropical storm should reach the east coast.
Fall is now ten days away, though, and around the country, cooler weather is settling in. Lows tonight in Maine will be in the 30s, while temperatures will drop below 30 degrees in Montana by the weekend, with lows in the 40s in much of the Northwest. It won’t be long before we’ll be seeing some of these cooler temperatures as well.
