Here we go, next pattern shift coming soon

Welcome to Friday and what a week this has been with the heavy rains and cloudy weather. I actually thought this might be our weather next week during the fair, but it showed up about 4-5 days early. But at least we've found some moisture for places that have routinely been missed.

While we get ready for a big shift in the pattern around here, we will keep an eye on what's brewing in the Atlantic. The season has been rather uneventful in the Atlantic, but we have turned the corner and the next couple of weeks could be quite active.

Florence is likely to become a major hurricane early next week. It's track should bring it close to the US but may stay just off the coast. It will be traveling over warmer than normal water and should allow it to intensify quickly.

There are two more areas to watch that could become tropical systems in time.

NEXT WEEK:
The jet stream setup looks very different. So sunshine will be back in full force and the temperatures will be warming quite a bit. It's not going to be anything out of the ordinary though, as normal highs are still in the upper 80s. But after a week full of cloudy weather, you might welcome a lengthy stretch of some calmer weather and brighter skies.

Have a great weekend.
