GFS a little warmer for Monday/Tues, starts to bring in some below average temps Wed, lasting for about 5-6 days .

Tuesday
Mostly sunny, with a high near 76.
Tuesday Night
Partly cloudy, with a low around 61.
Wednesday
Mostly sunny, with a high near 74.

So the cooler temps that were supposed to arrive today/tomorrow are now “a few days away.”  What a surprise….

I doubt it will verify but that track would funnel the storm surge right through lake Salvadar and into NO

The cold front crossing the eastern Great Lakes Monday will exit
southeast of the area Monday evening with any showers and
thunderstorms ending from northwest to southeast. The passage of
this cold front will mark the end of the long stretch of excessive
humidity, with a gradual trend towards less humid and cooler air
next week.

High pressure will build into the Great Lakes and Ontario/Quebec
Tuesday and remain in place through Friday supporting a stretch of
mainly dry weather. The remnants of Ida will move northward towards
the Tennessee Valley and then turn eastward towards the Carolinas or
Mid Atlantic. Model consensus keeps most, if not all of the
associated rain to the south of our area midweek.

A cooler and much less humid airmass will move into the region by
the middle of next week. The GFS is on the cool side of the guidance
envelope, with our preference lying toward the warmer ECMWF/GEM
solutions for Wednesday and Thursday. Even so, this will translate
into highs in the mid to upper 70s by the middle of next week, with
much cooler overnight lows and much lower humidity.

Damn that is a huge nest. I've been on the lookout in every tree around the yard every time i mow the lawn for a nest. My biggest hate of summer is bee's, been nailed twice this summer. Are they white faced hornets?

Based on the nest type/shape and location of the opening, I’m guessing that’s a “white-ass hornet”?  Actually called a bald- faced hornet.  Be careful around those things, they can be aggressive and come after you with an army and they aim for your face!  I paid someone to remove a nest a few years ago because I was not going to mess them.

Yeah I think you guys are right, they don't look like a typical bee, mostly black in color.. One day I bumped into the bush and a bunch came flying out, I thought they looked like big flies lol I just noticed the nest this morning, yeah I won't be messing with them lol

Lol Yeah if it was a giant Asian (murder) hornet I'd be in trouble haha Looking at photos they are absolutely huge lol These ones aren't that big..They are also mainly black, resembling a bald face hornet..From my research they have about a 4 month life cycle that ends around mid September..They are also known to be good for pest control lol They aren't that close to the house so I'll just let them finish their life cycle and remove the empty nest in fall/winter..

Thats a beautiful bald faced hornet nest.  No need to do anything with it if you made it this far and haven't had an issue.  They are rearing queens for next year by this point and will wind down in the next 4-5 weeks.  They are valuable insect predator and get a bad rap IMO.    I've been studying Bees, wasps and ants my whole life.  I find them fascinating.
