Last week was a mixed bag. We started hot before getting a nice taste of fall and some much needed rain. The summer mugginess returned to close out the week.

  This week continues the warm trend from last week all the way up until the weekend before we turn 10 degrees cooler from Saturday to Sunday and kick the humid air out again. In the past, low humidity has been very short lived, but this time we should get 3+ days of cool weather. I expect the overall weather pattern to remain much the same until about mid-October.

  What does this mean? Expect warmer than normal temperatures and small steps toward fall. I also see the drier conditions remaining until then as well. Temperatures could reach close to 90 as late as October.

   Wednesday kick’s off the forecast period with heat and humidity settled into the region. Temperatures will be in the middle 80s and the A/C is still a good idea.

  Thursday and Friday are both warm and humid days. It is a continuation of summer-like weather even though the calendar says fall. We’ve experienced a southern US climate this summer so that’s not surprising!

  Saturday is the transition day. Things starts out warm, but then clouds roll through and it turns cooler later at night when a front comes through. There is the slight chance of a shower in isolated spots with the cold front.

Sunday is a very nice day with sun, clouds and a cool breeze. It will feel noticeably less humid and cooler as temperatures barely get to the middle 70s.

  Monday stays cool with the addition of showers later in the day as another cold front reinforces the cooler air.

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

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