Summer Heat Planning a Comeback

What a perfect way to end the work week, partly cloudy with temperatures in the upper 60's! We finally got that Fall weather we've been waiting for, and the evening will be just as nice, but those temperatures will cool off quickly so be sure to bring a light jacket with you when going out tonight.  Also, get ready for the coldest night of the Fall season so far as we'll dip into the low 40's during the overnight, and a few locations very well could see the upper 30's.  This quick drop in temperatures may also bring some light fog early tomorrow morning.

The Fall-like weather is looking to stay with us going into the weekend as we'll have sunshine with temperatures in the upper 60's to low 70's Saturday afternoon.  Sunday will be similar, just a few more clouds during the afternoon.  However, enjoy the Fall weather while you can because the summer heat isn't quite done with us yet.  Temperatures will begin to warm up heading into the work week, hitting their warmest by the time we get to Tuesday.

Here's why the heat is going to return.  That high pressure system that's keeping us cool and dry is going to shift southeast, where it'll be in a better position to start pulling some warmer air into our area.  By the time we get to the end of the weekend, a low pressure system is going to develop out in the plains, and will begin tracking northeast while also pulling in some warm air into our area.  Low pressure systems have counter-clockwise winds around them, while high pressure systems have clockwise winds.  You can imagine based on the positions of these two systems in the photo how they'll be able to pull in lots of warm air into our area.  We'll hit the mid 80's on Tuesday and stay that way for a few days.  However, we'll get those Fall like temperatures back to us in no-time by Friday.
