The next couple of days will remain quite nice across the Tennessee Valley with plenty of sunshine and comfortably warm conditions. It turns cooler and unsettled for the weekend and early part of next week with an upper-level trough starting to form across the central and eastern US.

Tropical Storm Melissa continues to drift today over the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea and will likely do so for several days to come. There has been no intensification of the tropical system during the past 24 hours or so as it is in an area featuring strong westerly vertical wind shear. Wind shear in the general vicinity of the circulation center of Tropical Storm Melissa is likely to diminish over the upcoming weekend which should allow for intensification of the system into a minimal hurricane, and a strengthening to “major”, category 5 status is certainly on the table by early next week. Ultimately, this tropical system will take a turn to the north - likely crossing over central/eastern Cuba - on its way to the western Atlantic Ocean. An active weather pattern next week will feature a powerful jet streak, intense blocking in the atmosphere centered over Canada, plenty of colder-than-normal air, an intensifying upper-level trough over the central and eastern US, and Hurricane Melissa. There is quite likely going to be some kind of interaction between the inland upper-level trough and the western Atlantic Ocean hurricane, and a “late in the game” turn to the northwest by the tropical system cannot be completely ruled out.

A cold front passed through the Mid-Atlantic region on Wednesday morning and a secondary front pushes through later today. The end result of these two frontal passages will be a stretch of cooler-than-normal conditions that’ll last right through the early part of next week. Temperatures can bottom out in the mid-to-upper 30’s during each of the next few nights which can result in late night patchy frost across some of the northern and western suburbs.

Seasonal temperatures are likely for another day and there can be afternoon and evening shower activity. The weekend turns slightly milder, but then a storm system approaches late Sunday and the overall pattern will begin to change. Colder weather conditions are likely during the early part of next week in the Denver metro region and there can be some rain and/or snow shower activity...up in the mountains snow is likely and there can be some accumulations.

The next few days will feature decent weather conditions across the Tennessee Valley with some sunshine on each day and comfortable temperatures peaking in the lower 70’s on a daily basis. The weather becomes more unsettled later this weekend with an increasing chance of showers by Sunday and that threat of rain will likely continue early next week.

“Melissa” became the first named tropical storm of the year so far in the Caribbean Sea and it had been moving westward at a fairly rapid clip until just recently. A dramatic slowdown has taken place with Tropical Storm Melissa as it has moved into an area with very weak winds in the atmosphere. The slow movement of TS Melissa may last for the next several days and it is occurring over some very warm water in the central Caribbean...fully capable of supporting further intensification. Environmental conditions will become quite supportive of intensification as well in coming days with overall wind shear likely to diminish. This combination of favorable water temperatures for intensification along with improving environmental conditions raises the chance that TS Melissa intensifies all the way to “major” hurricane status by late this weekend or early next week. Looking ahead to later next week, with a deepening trough of low pressure likely to form just inland, there certainly can be some interaction between the inland trough and the western Atlantic tropical system…stay tuned; especially, if a resident in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US/New England.

A cold front passed through the Mid-Atlantic region last night and today will turn out to be a cooler day than yesterday with a noticeable breeze and a mix of clouds and sun. A secondary cold front passes through the area later tomorrow and the end result of these frontal passages will be a stretch of cooler-than-normal conditions from today right through the upcoming weekend.
