Good evening,
The past few days brought a brief taste of the upcoming fall season as a dip in the jet stream forced daytime temperatures to drop to the 60s with overnight lows decreasing below the freezing point throughout some locations from the Great Lakes into New York and as far south as TN this past weekend.
However, cold weather fans should not rejoice just yet since temperatures will be bouncing back to their normal average this week as the jet stream regresses north allowing for warmer air and high pressure to once again reign over most of the eastern portion of the country. The week will be a nice one for outdoor activities as the high pressure will keep rain and clouds away while bringing lower humidity levels.
The same cannot be said for Florida where an influx of moisture will trigger drenching showers and thunderstorms that promise to increase the risk of flash flooding as the week progresses. The area of high pressure sitting over the mid-Atlantic will force winds to flow out of the northeast for Florida and when combined with an abundance of tropical moisture from the southeast will create the afternoon showers and thunderstorms that are typical of inland and western Florida.
These conditions are expected to continue into the weekend across the Sunshine State where upwards of 2 inches of rain and localized flooding are possible in some locations.
Enjoy your evening,
Jen Gonzalez
