Gone tonight. Back tomorrow...the rain that is.
















After a sunny start to the day it ended up being a rather wet one. For much of the day the region saw a light but steady rain and, at times, a few moderate showers. Looking at the image above (from our Adonis forecast model here at CHEX) you can see that first system and the cold front that pushed through region already to the east of us by 8pm tonight. With lingering instability, showers are still possible to the west of that "low" but things will clear later tonight. Tomorrow we're likely to see a sunny start to the day but a second "low" (that you can see southwest of Lake Erie) moves in late day. Unlike today which (although humid) was relatively cool, tomorrow looks to be warm and muggy. With all of that potential heat and humidity thundershowers are possible tomorrow night once that second system moves in. Another cold front pushing through the region could be all the that is needed to see an active wrap to the day...so don't let a sunny start tomorrow morning catch you off guard.

One of the best things about having this blog is having the ability to get a little more in-depth with you while "talking weather." The blog wouldn't exist without readers so I want to thank all of you for checking out the weather blog and also to give a "shout out" to one particular reader (and CHEX viewer). Thomas, like myself, is a big "weather nerd" and his birthday wish was to be a Weather Watcher and his wish came true...

















Thomas and his friends spent some time in the CHEX TV studios last night and even had the chance to try out the famous "green screen. As you can see, the kids had a great time. Very cool!

















Afterwards we had the chance to talk about hurricanes, thunderstorms and all things weather. When it comes to weather let's just say Thomas has a bright future in broadcast meteorology. I'm always impressed with how much kids know about weather. Happy birthday Thomas and thanks for watching CHEX TV!
