A much cooler weather pattern ahead?

The Climate Prediction Center continues to focus on the possibility of much cooler weather settling into the Northeast next week and then expanding southward. The CPC's current 8-to-14-day outlook places Virginia in the area with an above-average chance of below-normal temperatures starting late next week. If this scenario is correct, a much different weather pattern would be setting up across the United States, with hot high pressure in the nation's mid-section and the Southwest, and cooler air circulation clockwise up and over that high pressure dome into the East. In the short term, it does look as if the heat wave is truly over, with highs the next several days in the 80s rather than the mid 90s we have had several recent days in the Roanoke Valley.
