See the big dip in the jetstream over the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley? Thats indicative of the first strong Autumn airmass diving in from Canada later next week. Other models have it too, thanks to a building ridge in Western Canada that forces the flow to carve out a deep trough in the East eventually. 
Until then, its smooth sailing, but we still have to watch what "Nate" does in the lower Gulf. There's the chance he gets pulled up early next week into the Gulf states anywhere from Florida to Lousiana, but chances are a little higher that he gets steered into Mexico...something worth watching.
First Widespread Blast of Fall-like Air possibly arrives late next week
Showers will accompany the front next Thursday or so when the Canadian front comes into the Southeast and Eastern states, and then be followed by really cool Autumn-like air, with high temps in the 50's for the high mountains, 60's in the lower elevations and comfy 70's well south into Georgia and South Carolina. Lows could be 30's for the mountains and parts of the Ohio Valley with frost even possible some areas, further south the lows would be upper 40's to upper 50's.  After a long hot Summer, this would be a welcome respite.
