So far this month, it looks like the Climate Prediction Center's outlook for the month of October has been fairly accurate. For a two week period, the skies were bright blue and clear of any cloud cover. We saw above average temperatures during this time frame as well. We had a blocking High centered over the Midwest. This did not allow for any weather systems to move into the area which is why we were able to enjoy the beautiful weather for such a long period of time.
A stronger Low finally moved in from the West and was able to push the High off to the East and finally break the blocking pattern. It allowed for a couple of shortwaves to move through. This brought us cloud cover and some light precipitation. As the low continues to spiral over the top of us we will continue to see the clouds and chances for some light rain. This Low will finally start to push off further to the East and another High will move on in.
The jetstream will also move and take a major dip off closer to the Northeastern US. This will bring cooler temperatures to that area, but for us a ridge will be building in. This will allow our temperatures to warm up above average for this time of the year yet again as we head towards the weekend.
