Perfect Fall Day

I don't know about you, but the weather we've had for the past couple of days has been perfect. Nights have been cool and afternoons have been pleasant, and the same will be true today after starting out in the lower 40s for most areas. Areas of fog that are present this morning will rapidly disappear by 9 a.m., and we should be in store for a sunny day. Look for afternoon highs today to be near 73 and morning lows tomorrow in the mid 40s.

We were under the influence of a deep trough over the weekend that was responsible for the cool, fall-like weather. This morning, however, the trough has exited the U.S., and our flow aloft has become more zonal in nature. What will this mean for our weather? Moderating temperatures for the next couple of days, but another trough will deepen across the Plains tomorrow. This trough will swing a cold front through the area Wednesday night and Thursday morning and will give us a better shot at rain than last week. The bigger story is that this front also promises to bring us our coolest weather of the season by the end of the week.
