6-10 day:
Not for long, according to the 8-14 day:
The upcoming "cool" stretch next week may have to come with a price. NWS ILN is talking about a potential cutoff low for early next week.
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Broad h5 ridge over srn U.S. weakens over Ohio Valley as a
stationary front in the lower GTLks begins to move swd into CWA Tues
night/early Wed. The boundary stalls in srn/south of CWA early
Thurs, with h5 s/w energy topping it late Wed/early Thu. Storms will
be likely over the region with these forcing mechanisms found in a
very receptive, moist airmass. they should be most active from Wed
afternoon through Thurs afternoon and die out in the evening. There
are indications that it could be south of the CWA earlier in the day
with little activity in the south ending closer towards noon.
High pressure to the north and upper level ridging will keep a dry
ne wind over the CWA through at least Sat. The center of the high
and axis of the upper ridge will pass east through the CWA overnight
Sat. Behind them, winds turn e and then se on Sun. GFS has an upper
level cutoff low undercutting the exiting ridge, bringing precip to
sw CWA Sun. European does not have cutoff upper low and brings a
zonal wly flow behind the departing ridge, keeping any rain threat
south of CWA.
The end of hot and muggy looks to begin on Wed with some moderating
temperatures, fall to below normal Thursday, and remain below normal
through the end of the forecast. Highs Thu-Sun will be in the mid
70s nw to near/low 80s se. Lows for this time frame will be in the
low-mid 60s. One exception is a cooler Fri night with mid 50s
along/n of I-70 corridor, near 60 along Ohio River.
If you're looking for a good dry stretch, it's safe to say that it's just not our year.
