LOOKING AT THE WEATHER MAP: We do that often. It is part of the game when you are trying to forecast weather. Fortunately, the U.S. Weather Services, both private and federal, have enormous access to all kinds of weather maps, charts, weather models–you name it. It boggles the minds sometimes and we catch ourselves trying to decide what information to use and what information to toss aside.

And, back to the present. We see another cool front on the map this afternoon. It has pushed across the Canadian border and all the way down into Missouri. Temperatures are in the mid 30s over a good part of Central Canada. We will not feel a distinct effect of those temperatures, but it will permit us to enjoy some slightly cooler nights this week.

THE RAIN SITUATION:  No big rain events, but almost every day will feature a small risk of an afternoon shower or a thunderstorm. If you were to add up all the rain this week, it probably would not amount to more than half an inch. The old thermometer is going to be friendly with highs almost every day in the mid 80s. The few exceptions will be upper 80s Thursday and Friday. Our coolest nights will be tonight and Sunday night with upper 50s.
