Saturday Afternoon Weather Discussion

I hope you are having a great Saturday! Things turned out nice today after a very cold start to the morning. Our low this morning was 38 degrees! With sunny skies this afternoon, temperatures quickly warmed into the upper 60s.  

Tonight, you can expect another cold night for our area; lows will drop into the upper 40s, with a light north wind. Much like today, temperatures will quickly rebound once the sun is out in full force; highs tomorrow afternoon will be in the low 70s, but with a north wind in place, it will feel a little chilly outside. With a very dry air mass in place and clear skies, temperatures will drop into the upper 40s again tonight.  

The beginning of this work-week looks very nice; highs will be in the low 70s, under mostly sunny skies. This nice weather will continue into Halloween, with highs Wednesday in the middle 70s. If you plan on being outdoors Wednesday night, be sure to bundle up because temperatures will quickly drop into the upper 40s after dark.  

A sneak peak into November shows the nice weather continuing; highs Thursday and Friday will be in the middle 70s, with partly cloudy skies around the area.  

Looking ahead, I don’t see another good chance of rain until next Monday, with an upper-level-low moving our way. This could set the stage for similar conditions we saw a few days ago, with cloudy, cold and rainy weather. Then, some models are picking up on a change to much colder weather after that. Of course, this is well out into the future, and skill in a forecast past 7 days is not very good. Be sure to stay tuned for more weather updates.
