Day 191: Heavy Rain (and Cooler Temperatures) Shift East
I’ve been working on a project with a deadline coming up so I haven’t been able to devote as much time to the nightly blog as I would have liked. Tonight is no exception…
The heavy rain (and cooler temperatures) that have been centered over the southern plains the past week will be shifting to the east. People in the east should expect a cooler and wetter pattern the next several days. This can be attributed to the large high pressure that was centered over this region last week redeveloping over the south-central United States. This will bring a return to hot and humid conditions in places that were wet last week and wet conditions to places that were hot and dry last week.
