Eclipse... And A Temperature Rollercoaster

We are looking at some warmer weather moving in... but before we get to that - we have to talk about something that happened in areas we don't live in. A rare total eclipse.

This was from SpaceWeather.com: On Wednesday, July 22nd, the Moon eclipsed the midday sun over China. "The temperature dropped from 96.6 F to 88.5F at totality," reports Donald Gardner from Huangshan. "The roosters were crowing and the streetlights came on!"

As for our temperatures rising and/or dropping... we have some middle to upper 80s in the forecast for Thursday and Friday in the East and the Southeast. A cold front comes through after that, though, and we are looking for temperatures to start to fall earlier on in the NE on Friday.

A larger cool-down is showing up for next week. Look at some of these computer-model forecasted highs early next week:

Check out those 70s around the area! If you are going to be missing the September-esque temperatures we've been seeing around here lately over the next couple of days, we get right back into it early next week.

Have a great night!
