Fall is in the air!  We’ll definitely be feeling more like fall than mid-summer as we head through the Air Show weekend!  Today, a cold front will move through during the afternoon hours… keeping us with cloud cover, and scattered showers.  We could hear a rumble of thunder, but real instability is lacking.  There may be come peeks of sun after the front comes through… say after 3pm.  Then clouds will roll back in for the overnight.  It does look like it will be dry for the Air Show Parade, which starts at 7pm up in Vandalia.  If you are planning to head out, check in with Chief Meteorologist Brian Davis before you do so… he’ll be live on the air beginning at 5pm with Live Doppler 2X!

The clouds and potential showers will keep temperatures in check today… and even though we may see  a little sun late today, cooler air will be spilling in behind the front.  So highs will be well below average… in the upper 70s.  It might even be a little chilly for you if you will be out late tonight!  Our lows will drop into the lower 50s.

Then on Saturday, check out the upper low:

We are right in the cold pool of air.  Our highs look to be limited to the upper 60s!  Who would have thought that on the 3rd weekend of July, we’d be this cool?!  We could even set a new record low high temperature for the day.  Does that make sense?

The coolest high temperatuare ever recorded on July 18th is 75 degrees.  We’re forecasting 68… which would be a new record!

Here’s your Air Show Forecast:

I hope you have a great fall weekend.
