Afternoon Clouds, Warming

Three straight mornings of fall-like temperatures has really made a lot of people wish for fall. Unfortunately, this kind of weather won't consistently be felt for at least two months, but it was a refreshing change of pace to the heat and humidity. Columbus completed the hat trick by setting another recording this morning (58) and Golden Triangle tied its record (61). The unseasonably deep trough that has been in place for the last couple of days will begin to lift out this afternoon. However, we'll be able to sneak out another day with below normal temperatures as highs top out near 88 this afternoon. We'll likely see afternoon cumulus clouds along with a few higher clouds from convective complexes to our northwest throughout the day. Only one model forecasts any cloud cover overnight, but satellite imagery from upstream makes me have a tough time believing this scenario, especially with a shortwave moving through the upper flow. I expect more cloud cover overnight will keep prevent record-breaking temperatures again tomorrow morning, but it will still feel comfortable with lows near 64.

Three beautiful sunsets occurred over weekend, but the best was Friday evening as a few high clouds were moving through at sunset.
