Heat continues today but welcome changes are also in the forecast as a weak cold front arrives, bringing isolated to scattered showers and storms. Although not all areas will see rain today, brief heavy downpours and gusty winds may accompany any storms that develop along the front as it shifts southward.
There are increasing signals that we may finally see a meaningful pattern change by the end of September and heading into October. Although this may not impact temperatures very much, it does appear that rainfall will be trending above average during the first half of October.
Here are today's climate records for selected sites across our Four-State area.
