Once again, the forecast played out pretty much as expected. The only significant change was that the low-pressure system that started off this week was a little stronger than anticipated, which resulted in cooler-than-expected air being forced over our region behind the low. That cool air should start to move out of our region by

Well, I don’t think we’ll have to worry about summer coming to an end and fall moving in just yet. After a little taste of fall over the weekend, it looks like summer will move back in by this weekend, and if the models hold true we should see summer- like conditions right through to
