Monday, October 7th, 2013 - Morning Weather Discussion

The heavy rain should arrive in the late morning or early afternoon and will be heavy at times with localized small stream flash flooding.  The rain should then come to an end around nightfall leaving us with a nice Tuesday and Wednesday.  Enjoy it because those are likely to be the nicest days we see for a while.  Thursday the clouds will increase as a storm system develops off the East Coast and moves in our direction.  There is a quite a bit of uncertainty with the exact time of the arrival of this system but right now it appears that it will arrive on Friday afternoon, bringing a chance of showers and thunderstorms  for Friday afternoon and night, followed by rain heavy at times for the rest of the weekend.  The low clouds and rain from this storm will also keep it cool with a high around 60 on Saturday, and only in the mid to upper 50’s on Sunday.  The showers should finally come to an end next Monday morning, followed by a decent Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday next week, with only a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm each day.  Another storm will approach, this time from the west, for next Friday, bringing another chance of showers and thunderstorms, with much colder air behind this storm.  As we head into the following weekend it appears that we will have our first chance of a vegetation killing freeze.
