Forecast Discussion

We are currently on the frontside of this trough that has enveloped all of the Midwest. This trough is expected to dig a bit further southeast before getting entirely disconnected from the main jet stream, which is up around Southern Canada. When this trough becomes disconnected, that will make it a cut-off low, which simply put, means that it will linger around the Southeastern US. This cut-off low will then interact with Hurricane Helene as Helene makes landfall in Florida, causing more energy to be put into the system. Why do I say all of this? I say all of this because what it means is that we could see a moderate chance of rain for the next week thanks to that cut-off low pressure just lingering around. So, this will hopefully help with the drought. Anyway, for the high temperatures, tomorrow (Wednesday) will be in the mid 70s, Thursday through Saturday will be in the low 80s, and Sunday will be in the high 70s. All of these days have at least a 30% chance of rain and most of these days have at least a 50% chance of rain. While all of this is good, it is worth noting that this could affect the conditions of the Ohio University Homecoming parade and game as well if it all holds true. But that is still several days out so things could still change.
