The next few days will validate the attempted balance of the atmosphere. After a record low temperature early this week and the very cool end of August, a warm-up will surge, and I am leaning toward the thought of higher temperatures. We will reach the upper 80s for a few days.
Two cold fronts are approaching and will tap into the increase in humidity with the heat. This will spark strong thunderstorms on Thursday evening with a marginal risk for some to turn severe. It has been over 2 weeks since we have had rain, so this will be an important change of pace.
The cold air will not arrive until the second cold front passes on Saturday. This will bring another round of showers and thunderstorms, then the weekend will end with gusty winds and colder air.
We are entering the peak of hurricane season in the Atlantic, and the only potential system is moving off the African coast. There is a 70% chance for development over the next 7 days… Optimally, this will stay in the open water like Fernand (the last storm).
As High Pressure shifts, warm weather will pivot to build in for a few days. This will feed into a double set of cold fronts that will move our way with thunderstorms.
The next push of colder air will hold off until the end of the weekend.

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here, you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and found out during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I also can make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. There has been no editor who can check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF
