Good Friday everyone and welcome to an Indian Summer weekend!!! We have some awesome weather ahead of us for the next several days and the timing on it is great. It has been a while since we have had a fully dry weekend... but one is in store and we are gonna throw in some mild temps as a bonus. And it's all for the low price of 19.99 so call now... operators are standing by. I kinda feel like one of those pitch men on tv.

Now before I get totally carried away and try to sell you a one of  a kind onion slicer... let's get into the weather part of the show.

The forecast breakdown looks like this...

- Temps today will start cold and end mild with readings heading toward the mid 50s under a mostly sunny sky.

- Temps this weekend warm well into the 60s under partly sunny skies. I have scaled back temps just a bit from previous forecasts... but who is gonna complain?

- Indian Summer rolls on into Monday with highs still in the 60s as clouds begin to increase.

- A cold front will be moving in Tuesday and will knock temps way down. Rains will move in as well and it is at this point where the model runs lose their way and Ida is to blame. Ida became a hurricane briefly before coming ashore in South America early Thursday. This storm will head toward the Gulf of Mexico and what happens after that is throwing the models for one serious loop. Here is where the National Hurricane Center thinks Ida will be over the next few days...





























Something else to watch out for is a system that may try to crank up ahead of Ida in the Gulf this weekend. That , along with Ida, will mean some wild fluctuations in computer runs over the next few days. Don't believe any one model run for a bit or until I tell you to. Hahaha

I believe we will get a lot of moisture from the gulf to feed into our front for Tuesday. Can we get this trough to pick up the lead system or even Ida and bring it northward toward this area? That is possible and is something to watch for. Moral of the story... stay tuned.

Since it is a nice weather Friday... I leave you with this song that sums up how we all feel about work on a day like this...

 

 Have a great day and happy drum banging! Take care.
