This week our weather pattern changes. I'm sure you remember the triple-digit heat we had just recently. That was due to a ridge of high pressure not only at the surface, but at higher levels of the atmosphere. That was a perfect pattern for a heat wave as not only did downward-moving air compress and heat up, but upper-level ridges mean that cooler air masses are kept at bay. We have been in a transition pattern, and will see a cooler pattern this coming week as a surface cold front brings more seasonal temperatures (mid to upper 80s are the 'normal' highs for this week). This will be accompanied by an upper level trough which will support these temperatures and perhaps keep a cloud or two overhead from time to time.
