Live. Look downtown right now. It is a beautiful September morning outside. We've got great visibility this morning. You're gonna wake up to clear skies and I'm expecting wall to wall sunshine as we go throughout the entire day. And have you noticed that? Especially as you get outlying locations, the leaves are starting to change. They're no longer the green. They're kind of the yellowish, golden green if that makes any sense. So I want to take you through. Why do leaves change colors? And what is our fall foliage looking like this year? Well, the cooler weather does it and the lots of daylight as we have shorter days that changes the trees chlorophyll production, which makes it green, it breaks it down and it leaves other chemicals that cause those color changes. Not gonna go through the list of chemicals, but there's different chemicals in each tree and each tree stays the same every single year. It has those chemicals. It's kind of in its DNA. So the red trees turn red, the orange trees turn orange, uh, as we go down the list and the bright colors are more likely when late summer is dry. Well, that sounds like northeast Ohio and autumn has sunny days and cool nights. So, are we heading towards a beautiful fall foliage season around here? I think so because all those things are kind of in line as long as we continue to get these sunny days and these cool nights, it certainly is gonna help those fall colors. 54 degrees right now. It is a cool start. We've got calm wind, high pressures rate over us right now. Notice temperatures anywhere from the upper forties to lower fifties. We've had a couple of cool spots this morning, Chardon in the last hour, you were down to 43 degrees, but we're starting to warm up. That air is starting to mix just a little bit. Dew points are really low, so it's comfortable for walkers and runners out there alike and we've got temperatures and dew points that are comfortable really all across the Great Lakes. Exception being the temps are a little bit warmer as you get out in the plains, high pressure to flow around it, bringing the moisture and the heat in the areas of northern plains. We're gonna attach ourselves to some of that heat as we warm up over the next couple of days. And here comes our system out of Canada diving south whenever a system comes at us from Canada, you know, there's probably some cooler air from it and that's exactly what we're gonna have. Meanwhile, lots of sunshine over the next two days as it looks right now, National Designer Hour by our forecast, lots of sunshine today should make it up near 80 degrees. So a little warmer than yesterday, humidity stays low. Tonight, we're back down into the upper forties and low fifties. So another comfortable night and then tomorrow we do it all over again with more wall to wall sunshine and temperatures they get up. I've got us in the mid eighties tomorrow again, humidity remains manageable tomorrow. So when's the next hit of rain? Thursday night may have a straight shower around here, but Friday into Friday night into Saturday morning, that's your window of rain. We'll have several rounds of it. Some of it could be steady at times long range of forecasts in terms of what we're tracking with this front. What's new is, I've lowered temperatures on Saturday. Wait, do you see the numbers? It's going to be chilly on Saturday. Still expecting that rain to move in on Friday though. Nothing's changed in terms of the timing of this as we take you through it. Here comes our frontal boundary. We're going to be staring at some rain on radar Thursday night by Friday, the best chance of rain and storms moves overhead and then watch how this low wraps up over us. So in terms of your upcoming weekend, I still think it's gonna rain early Saturday that should push out as the low polls north. This thing is gonna be just north of us. So look on Sunday, we have some lake effect rain. Perhaps again, we're gonna have to keep an eye on. This is the track of this low and the path of it is the difference between a great weekend and a not so great weekend. But the one thing for sure is that we could use the rain. We're six, almost seven inches below average on the year in terms of our soil moisture union home mortgage, seven day forecasts. That cool hit comes in Saturday 63 for high with morning showers, Sunday for the Browns game. We'll keep an eye on rain just off towards the north. It'll be cool. And then next week, nice recovery back into the seventies.
