---------------------------------FORECAST-----------------------------------
TONIGHT - Scattered thunderstorms in the evening and into the night, guys these are isolated and some may get hit, some may not. Some are strong, others are not as strong. But, chance for isolated thunderstorms and heavier downpours especially as you get further north of NYC and as the warm front sweeps through. Lows in the high 60's to around 70°.
SATURDAY - Highs a bit cooler then today, low 80's and a bit drier as high pressure (weak) builds in behind the cold front from Friday night. Watch for some clouds, but otherwise should be a nice day, small chance of a t-storm in the morning though.
SUNDAY - Some sun in the morning but watch for those clouds moving in. Highs in the low 80's.
MONDAY - Rain is coming - most likely wink emoticon warm front comes through Monday followed by a cold front Tuesday, so expect more widespread rain and some t-storms localized heavy downpours as well. Highs a bit cooler in low to mid 70's.
--------------------------FORECAST DISCUSSION------------------------
And so a new pattern is coming! Upper level ridging and High pressure will build over the SE likely focusing the heaviest rains Texas --> Oklahoma --> Illinois --> Ohio --> Mid Atlantic/NY. In addition to this, eyes on the gulf! Will we get a TC out of the mess down there? likely NO, but we sure will get some heavy rains and flooding and winds for Texas and up on along that axis I explained above (which is in the picture as well below)

Warm front approaches Sunday and cross the area Monday bringing more widespread rain to the area, cold front moves in through Tuesday, the rain should all end by Tuesday night and give a nice Wednesday as weak high pressure builds but lets watch for another system that could affect us Thur-Fri next week.
Quick note on the MJO - Seeing it go into phase 3 in the next couple of weeks, which means for us continued above average temps...not by much, but a bit, that being said watch for those bursts of colder air smile emoticon

Have a great weekend guys!
