September 1st is the beginning of Meteorological Fall, but it will actually feel like the beginning of July. A pattern more typically seen in the dog days of summer will make an appearance this week and bring above normal temperatures. A large ridge of high pressure will build across the Plains and into the Midwest. High temperatures this week will trend nearly 10 degrees above the average high, which should be in the low 80's. Highs will reach the upper 80's to lower 90's. We won't get a break from the heat and humidity until Sunday when the next cold front is forecast to move through.
We also won't get much rain this week. Weak upper level disturbances moving through will provide only small, daily rain chances for some. The better concentration for rain will be to the southeast of us, but with the heating of the day we could see isolated afternoon/evening storms. However, the rain threat is very minimal with chances only between 10-20%.
