There's our chance of showers to our south on wednesday There's the hurricane coming in battling a cold front that's helping steer it Kind of arrests the cold front down there We have a little snow chances in the higher elevations northwest gets a chance of showers This is just drenching rain Hurricanes going to come back out over the ocean and possibly strengthen again later. We'll see it might even do it again coming off the second time Here we have showers friday and some more mountain snow to lower elevations as cooler air comes in a loft Kind of two stories Following here for smoke. It's just going to be uh smoke free For wednesday and friday there are fires still in the dry parts of the west And other spots in the nation, but none of it is drifting this direction Our normal high temperatures and low temperatures are dropping quite rapidly now a four degree drop over 10 day period So expecting 73 at the beginning and only 69 at the end 43 drops down to 39 for a low And we're in the norm spring nicely for the latter part of this section We have the tents of showers Going into wednesday morning.

That's kind of the big story. So the ridge gets bashed down by this incoming trough And that kind of slows down and rotates there for a few days And we get some chance of showers And then it starts to move past on monday giving us a second or third chance of showers Before the ridge reestablishes itself out west And we have northern flow aloft keeping temperatures more normal Looking at temperatures you see the big cold front that's steering the hurricane down here Um warmer than normal because of the nighttime clouds cooler than normal because of the rain in the day We have warm temperatures here until this Cold pool comes in with that cut off low on saturday sunday That's some thunderstorms going there monday the trough starts to go by cooling us off Another cold front heads down in the northeast. We go to normal ish weather All right, let's take a look at the precipitable water on the west is kind of there there's stuff but the Hurricanes coming into the carolinas and moving out Nothing really notable there For our precipitation. We have the front crossing Florida and then moving up into the carolinas.
