Cold Air Lacking the First Week of October

The average monthly temperature for the first week of October is nearly nine degrees above average!  That's because high temperatures have been above average every single day. 


Another cold front will move in from the west Monday, but there won't be much cold air behind it.  The overall jet stream pattern these past few weeks has been more west to east, versus north to south.  This means despite cold fronts passing through, the cold air just isn't able to make it this

far south or stick around for an extended period of time. 


This upcoming week will feature more of the same.  Temperatures will warm into the 70's for the start of the week, cool down in the 60's (which is seasonable for this time of year) and then rise back into the 70's by the end of the week.


Even looking a bit further into the extended and towards the middle of the month shows very little opportunity for cold air to stick around for any prolonged period of time.
