Forecast Discussion

Chilly high pressure will wedge down the east side of the Appalachians and bring cooler temperatures today. The rain ends this morning but the drizzle and fog remain this afternoon and tonight with cool upslope flow.

Skies clear and temperatures warm Monday through Wednesday as high pressure to the south influences our weather. A weak cold front approaches Tuesday but it stalls just to our north. Low pressure moving across the southern Plains will ride along the front late in the week bringing more rain and fog, Wednesday night and Thursday and much cooler temperatures for Friday.

Tropical Storm Zeta formed south of Cuba overnight. Zeta should move into the Gulf of Mexico as a hurricane and affect the Gulf coast states late next week.
