Yay, warm! Boo, cold!


Autumn weather... mild, sunny afternoons... crisp mornings... too bad it isn't always like that. We're getting a dose of fall weather next week. However, it's of the "blah" variety. We'll be stuck in the lower 60s (and that may be a little optimistic) under cloudy skies and perhaps some showers.

In the meantime, southeasterly flow is keeping us warm today with our 8th straight day in a row with highs in the 80s. As a cold front approaches tomorrow, our wind will begin to shift to the west, and by later on Sunday, a northwest wind will have kicked in. And that northwest wind is going to drag an airmass down alllllll the way from the Yukon region - our first taste of a cold airmass. How long the cool weather will stick around is still up in the air since our computer models are having a tough time dealing with some of the "roadblocks" that may develop in our atmosphere. More often than not, we get stuck in a roadblock for longer than the models originally predict. Stay tuned...
