High Pressure, Come On Down!

Weather Map Forecast 7am Sunday
We have been beat up with heat this summer. The hot spells have been numerous and, depending on how the rest of August turns out, we may rank in the top ten hottest summers (summer on the record books is June-August).
Changes in the jet stream are supportive of cooler weather starting Sunday and running through much of next week.
A front will be pushed by the jet stream through the Ozarks Saturday night. This should bring our temperatures back below normal for early next week. Highs will reach into the eighties while lows fall into the sixties. A second area of high pressure should drop down mid-week, prolonging the more moderate temperatures through the rest of the week.
The jet stream has featured a ridge of high pressure supporting hot air over much of the southern Plains for most of July and August with only an occasional cool front. The forecast changes over the northern Plains are sharper and longer lasting which is way we should be able to enjoy a break from the heat!
