A taste of summer...in fall


The calendar may say October 1st tomorrow but the weather will feel anything but 'October-like' tomorrow afternoon.  Temperatures Tuesday, and Wednesday, will warm well above average with highs expected to reach the low 80s.  A weak front will stall across the area Wednesday afternoon but then lift back north into Wisconsin late Wednesday night/Thursday morning bringing another surge of warmth to the Stateline. 


While forecast models have flipped-flopped over the development of a late week storm this past weekend, it does look like a strong low pressure system will move across the middle of the country by the start of the weekend.  Ahead of the low, strong southerly winds will draw a fairly warm and moist air mass (for this time of the year) up ahead of a cold front late Thursday and Friday.  It's possible that if enough moisture and sunshine are seen ahead of the low and cold front thunderstorms that may form Friday afternoon and Friday evening could be strong.  Of course the timing of the system and just how warm we get will play a big factor on storm development and storm strength, but it's something to keep and eye on over the next several days.
