While temperatures this afternoon will be chilly, next week some models are predicting highs only in the 40s! I'm optimistic that it won't get that cold but low 50s for high temperatures is chilly enough.
We've been fairly spoiled the past week and a half in terms of nice, warm and sunny weather. This is because the jetstream pattern featured a ridge that extended all the way into southern Canada and kept a lot of the cold bottled north. That pattern is beginning to change, however. Temperatures won't be too terrible this weekend as a couple quick moving systems come through. The first will slide to our south Saturday night and Sunday with a few clouds and rain chance early in the day Sunday. The second, and stronger of the two - as it looks right now, will develop into a pretty sizable storm system that will eventually move up the east coast late next week. This low will help pull down that cold air from northern Canada as early as Tuesday and be with us through Wednesday and Thursday. Right now I'm forecasting highs to only be in the low 50s with Thursday morning's low temperature at 30°! While it doesn't look like it's going to be a prolonged cold event it will be long enough to remind us that winter is right around the corner!
