Is the Pattern Shifting?

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

Summer isn't over - we still have plenty more hot days ahead. But, there are signs the pattern may be starting to shift toward the much anticipated end of summer and cooler weather. We saw a cold front make its way into our area Sunday night and an upper level disturbance drop into the area to create significant rain in some areas. Another front is forecast to arrive either Thursday night or Friday. These fronts are courtesy of low pressure areas dropping out of Canada and into the Central U.S. Plains - a pattern which we typically see in the Fall - so I think we're seeing early stages of our summer gradually coming to an end - but remember - lots more heat and humidity yet to go.

I'm looking for afternoon highs near 96 on Tuesday and Wednesday, 95 on Thursday then our next cold front arriving by Friday which keeps highs Friday in the middle 80's (perhaps cooler). Around 90 to 94 looks in order for weekend highs.

Monday Night: Partly cloudy to mostly cloudy with a 20% chance for thunderstorms, low near 72. Light winds.

Tuesday: Partly cloudy and hot, high near 96.
