Warmth returns by Labor Day Weekend

We've enjoyed some fairly nice weather the past couple of weeks; comfortable temperatures and low humidity.  While this upcoming weekend will feature near average temperatures and little rainfall, that may all be changing by this time next weekend.

Very strong jet stream winds will come down from the Gulf of Alaska early next week causing a trough of low pressure to develop in the Pacific Northwest and the ridge that has been settled across the southern states to expand a little further east and north.  This could come with a pretty good wind out of the southwest by the middle of the week which could bump temperatures close to 90° once again.  However, the strong jet stream winds will move across the U.S/Canadian border causing a cold front to possibly drop through Saturday putting a temporary end to the heat.  Of course, the timing of the front will probably change since it is a week away but it does look like it's going to get just a little warmer here.  Mother Nature is ready to give up summer just yet.
