Discussion
Hot and humid weather will continue for another couple of days, but then a strong cool frontal passage late Thursday will pave the way for a cooler Friday and a cool weekend. The front will stall just south of here late in the week and that proximity will increase chances for occasional showers and thunderstorms on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In addition, the remains of Tropical Storm Gordon will ride up to the northeast this weekend over the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes and it could actually contribute to some rainfall around here. Elsewhere, Hurricane Florence continues to churn to the NW over the central Atlantic and it bears close watching for all residents along the east coast. Yet another system trails Florence closer to Africa’s west coast and it may also become a big concern in coming days.
