Last week started warm before we flipped a switch into fall and temperatures plunged from the 80s to the 60s. This week is a continuation of that drop down. Remember all those dry, warm summer days? We will begin to pay for those this week too! A storm will spin over the region for a few days bringing with it cool temperatures and a dreary weather outlook.

  This is an exciting time of year! Football is back, refreshing breezes from the north are beating back the oppressive heat of summer, the leaves will begin to change color and fall, sweatshirts and jackets are becoming a necessity, and pumpkin pie will soon be in order. However, to the dismay of many, it’s only a matter of time before the arctic wind of winter grips the region. Until then, enjoy the beautiful fall season!

  Wednesday starts off as a nice day but don’t be fooled! Clouds will move in as the day progresses and rain arrives at night.

  Thursday and Friday are both soggy days. The storm will spin over the region and provide “rounds” of rain. It will not be raining all the time but keep the rain gear handy. It will rain for a couple hours then turn to drizzle before steady rain moves back in. Not fun!

The storm starts to loosen its grip on Saturday. We still have a good shower chance but any rain will occupy much less time of the day compared to Thursday and Friday.

  Sunday is a nice day with sun, clouds and a cool breeze. It will feel noticeably warmer as temperatures are able to get near 80!

  Monday continues the nice trend as sunshine will tend to dominate more than clouds. The storm will move to our north slowly away from us. Goodbye!

  Tuesday is a breezy day with sunshine and temperatures continuing to camp out in 70s.

Side note: I am still watching the tropics for another storm that could bring rain to us in the Monday-Tuesday time period. It’s too early to tell, stay tuned!

The weather winner of the week is the Sunday; the weather loser is Thursday. •
