Warm Monday, Feeling Like Fall Mid-Week...High clouds dominated most of our skies as a wave of upper-level energy passed through the region. This wave brought a light shower to areas of north of the Ohio River, but for the most part we remained dry. Skies will clear out this evening and overnight as the mercury falls to 60 degrees. Expect fog to develop toward daybreak much like this morning. Monday will be the warmest day of the next seven, and our last reminder of summer for a while. A ridge of high pressure will move to our east, giving us a nice southerly flow. This will allow warm air from the Gulf to move into the region, and give us a daytime high around 87. We can also expect mostly sunny skies; however, clouds will thicken up as we move into the evening hours as a storm system approaches from the West. The rain will start to fall early Tuesday, and could be heavy at times. The Storm Prediction Center has us in the "Slight Risk" category of seeing some severe storms pop up. Although, I think the early start to the rain, and a mainly cloudy day, will prevent most storms from becoming severe, as they won't have enough daytime heating to give them fuel. High Tuesday 79. A lingering shower is possible, especially south and east of Charleston Wednesday morning, but we should see some afternoon clearing. Daytime highs will only be in the mid-upper 70s as cooler air works in behind the front. We warm up back into the low 80s on Thursday under partly cloudy skies. The sun will be short-lived as another storm system moves in Friday afternoon. It looks as though the rain will stick around through most of the weekend, with the heaviest rain falling Saturday. Highs Friday through Sunday will be right around 80. One Final Note. Hurricane Ike is quickly moving toward Cuba and should make landfall tonight as a strong Category 4 storm, packing winds of 135mph. Forecast models have him weakening to a Category 1 Storm before he leaves the island Tuesday morning. Models, however, indicate he will quickly re-intensify and could be a Category 3 or 4 Storm before making landfall near Texas by the end of the week. --Steve Borecky
