00:00 Well, as we take a look at next week,

00:02 what a difference in the pattern

00:04 compared Joe to what we've seen

00:05 most of this week.

00:06 But let's highlight three things we

00:08 have to get ready for for next week.

00:10 Yeah, this week was dry and warm in the

00:13 Northeast until the end of the week.

00:15 Next week there's going to be a

00:16 decided chill in the atmosphere from

00:18 the Great Lakes to the Northeast.

00:20 We're going to be keeping our eyes

00:22 on the Gulf of Mexico for the

00:23 potential of something trying to

00:25 develop down there and late next week.

00:27 Watch out for a storm to come

00:28 out of the Plain States.

00:30 Toward the Northeast with some much

00:31 needed rain for a lot of places

00:33 and the reason we're worried

00:34 about the Gulf next week.

00:35 A big dip in the jet stream this weekend.

00:38 Joe that's going to take this

00:39 frontal boundary South.

00:40 Then it stalls.

00:41 Then we're worried about moisture coming

00:43 in from the Tropical Pacific.

00:44 Yep, there's already one front that's

00:46 worked its way down through the

00:48 lower Rio Grande Valley.

00:49 A second one is on the way during

00:51 the course of Saturday and as that

00:53 moves its way down into the Gulf of Mexico.

00:56 It stalls a system comes out of the

00:58 Tropical Pacific this area of the

00:59 Gulf of Mexico is really warm.

01:01 There's a lot of untapped potential there,

01:03 so this is the area that we're concerned

01:05 for potential development next week.

01:07 Somewhere in the southern Gulf of Mexico.

01:09 It doesn't look like something

01:10 you know a specific storm develops,

01:12 but that moisture is going to head

01:13 for Florida without questions.

01:14 You're going to see a wet end of the week.

01:17 There yeah, no doubt about it.

01:19 Showers, thunderstorms across Florida,

01:20 and then we're going to watch this dip

01:22 in the jet stream across the central

01:24 US with the developing storm.

01:25 Yes, that system comes over the

01:27 northwest and into the Plain States.

01:28 A low pressure area develops

01:29 and it will move east.

01:30 After a cool dry stretch in the Northeast,

01:32 you're probably going to see

01:33 some rain to end next week.
