Change by the end of the week?

For the next few days, it's typical summer stuff: Highs in the 80s and 90s, scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms, with most folks staying dry while a few get a downpour. Toward the end of the week, though, there may be a significant change in the weather pattern that will bring cooler than normal temperatures to our area. A "backdoor" cold front appears primed to slip southward from eastern Canada, allowing cooler temperatures to build into the Eastern U.S. while the West heats up. The Climate Prediction Center, which is still projecting extreme heat just west and just east of us a few days this week, is now calling for below normal temperatures in our area during the 8-14 day period, which would start next weekend. So blazing mid-summer heat may not be quite ready to settle in for weeks to come.
