For the next few days, Chief Meteorologist Ryan Martin calls for dry weather with improving temperatures.
“We get on the backside of Canadian high pressure and see some south flow pick up for the weekend. That combined with a lack of wind, or at least northwest wind, and an increase in sunshine should allow us to see temperatures get closer back to, and even a bit above, normal from the weekend right on through Monday of next week.”
According to Martin, there may be, what he calls, an interesting little period for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
“Over the course of this weekend and early on in the week there’s a system that moves through the Missouri Valley, Tennessee Valley, deep south in general and it really doesn’t impact us at all…but Tuesday and Wednesday of this upcoming week we see winds start to go more south and southeast that may draw up a little bit of this moisture. I’m not big on this round of moisture. I think it’s only a few hundredths to a few tenths and it’s only about 40% coverage, but I also can’t really say it’s dry right now for the Tuesday and Wednesday period. I think a large part of us could be dry but not everyone. And that may cause a few blips in harvest as we move into mid-week.”
He’s saying we could see our next front come in to haunt us on Halloween night.
“That front has half an inch or less of moisture but it does bring down a very big blast of Canadian air. I’m looking for frost or freeze conditions to be in here for Friday night (Halloween night) into Saturday and Saturday night into Sunday. By the time we get to November 4th though, that entire first week of November, it’ll warm up and dry down. I’m looking for us to be quite mild by the 4th and 5th.”
