The day begins with some of the coolest temperatures so far this season and they’ll climb to the lower 60’s for the afternoon hours boosted by copious amounts of sunshine. Another chilly night is on tap with early morning lows on Wednesday in the lower 40’s in many suburban locations. The air mass will modify some during the mid-week and high pressure will assure quiet, dry weather through the remainder of the week. Meanwhile, a tropical system in the southwestern Gulf can become the first hurricane of the Atlantic Basin tropical season by this weekend as it begins to take on a northward track. Still several days to go, but this system could end up hitting somewhere between Louisiana and the Florida Panhandle and could ultimately bring some rainfall to the Mid-Atlantic region by the early part of next week.

The remainder of the week will generally be warm and dry with high pressure in control across the eastern states. The chance for showers and thunderstorms will likely increase this upcoming weekend as Gulf moisture makes a push to the north into the southeastern US.

Well above normal temperatures around here for the next couple of days with upper-level ridging centered over the Rocky Mountain States for a bit longer. Moisture will be limited for much of the week with only isolated showers possible; primarily, in the higher elevation locations.

All in all, this looks like a relatively quiet and dry week for the continental US, but tropical systems may change that in a big way by this weekend or the early part of next week. There are not one, not two, but three tropical systems that will have to be closely monitored in coming days...two in the eastern Pacific and one in the Gulf. The only one of the three systems that is currently named is “Rachel” which is a minimal hurricane in the eastern Pacific that is on a seemingly harmless westerly track during the next few days. After that, however, there are signs that “Rachel” will take a drastic turn from a westerly direction to northeasterly, and this could bring its moisture field into the southwestern US and potentially, well up to the north of there.
The second tropical wave in the eastern Pacific should strengthen in the near term to become a named tropical storm and potentially, it can attain classification as a hurricane. This trailing system is likely to turn into Mexico and ultimately, its moisture field can impact the southwestern or south-central states. Meanwhile, a tropical wave now over the very warm waters of the southwestern Gulf of America can intensify into named tropical storm status and potentially into the season’s first hurricane for the Atlantic Basin as it pushes towards the northern Gulf region by the weekend…and potentially, well to the north of there.

A cold front has pushed farther to the east of the area and high pressure will follow into the northeastern part of the nation. This high pressure system had its origins in Canada and will bring cooler temperatures here through much of the week and dry conditions as well. In fact, the coolest weather so far this season is likely during the next couple of nights with overnight lows in the 40’s.

A cold front will reach the area early tonight and likely bring with it some shower activity and its passage late tonight will pave the way for a cooler weekend. An area of moisture in the southeastern states will consolidate along the frontal boundary zone and make a push to the north and east later in the weekend. This will likely result in some rain around here from late Saturday night into the day on Sunday. The first half of next week looks quite cool with temperatures dropping to well below normal levels by Tuesday and Wednesday and overnight lows in the 40’s.
