.FORECAST UPDATE...
Issued at 924 AM EDT Sun Sep 6 2026

No major changes needed to the forecast with the gradual end of
showers and storms generally following what was expected. The
surface front has crossed through the forecast area with dew points
gradually falling and winds northerly to northeasterly. A few
showers continue behind the front, mainly associated with older
outflow boundaries but with the loss of daytime heating, expect to
see coverage continue to decrease through the remainder of the early
overnight.

There have been a few gusts post-front, but with the loss of
daytime heating and the boundary layer starting to decouple, expect
any gusts going forward to be brief and isolated.

.DISCUSSION (Today through Saturday)...
Issued at 314 AM EDT Sun Sep 6 2026

Cooler and drier conditions will start off the new week behind the
passage of a cold front and a Canadian airmass at the lower levels
sagging into the Great Lakes region. Highs the next couple of days
will stay in the 80s with lows dropping into the 60s and even 50s in
some areas.

This return to near normal temperatures will only be short lived as
upper ridging returns, bringing the heat back with it. Luckily this
time the heat will be brief as the upper pattern is more progressive
than was seen last week, allowing broad upper troughing to arrive
mid to late week. A shortwave with this trough will bring with it
another surface cold front and potentially a round of showers and
storms. Confidence is growing in this round of rain mid to late week
as models start to have better agreement on the timing of the wave.
Temperatures are again expected to drop back to near normal again
behind the wave and largely persist into the weekend. Models are
hinting at another potential chance of storms late next weekend.
