Discussion
The quiet, dry and warm weather pattern we’ve enjoyed for much of October is going to undergo a change and there is likely to be some wild weather over the next few weeks with soaking rain events, possible strong thunderstorm activity, and multiple cold shots coming into the eastern and central US. A strong cold front is diving southeastward today from the Upper Midwest and it’ll help drive some moisture northward from the Gulf of Mexico over the next 24 hours. As a result, a soaking rain event is likely around here from later tonight into tomorrow night and there can be some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity as well. Once the front passes through the region late tomorrow night, a chilly air mass will push in at mid-week and keep us cool until the weekend. It is likely to modify over the weekend in terms of temperatures, but another rain event is possible late in the weekend and that may be followed by an impressive cold shot early next week - just in time for Halloween.
