Mid Week Sunshine…Though our northern counties will deal with periods of cloudiness into the afternoon, most of the region will enjoy lots of sunshine and cool, crisp temperatures (below normal levels).  Most neighborhoods will see frost tonight with many dipping into the middle 30s.

After a sunny start Thursday, skies will cloud up and a couple sprinkles will be possible during the afternoon hours.  Temperatures will remain cool.

Wintry Feel; Light Snow For Halloween…A secondary push of early season arctic air will invade for Halloween, including trick-or-treat, itself.  After an early high in the middle 40s, temperatures will fall through the day and developing light rain will begin to mix with and transition to light snow Friday evening.  Though we’re not forecasting widespread accumulating snow, it wouldn’t surprise us to see a few reports of a dusting to “coating” type accumulation reports atop cars and roof tops.  Needless to say, with falling temperatures, rain to snow, and gusty winds, plan to dress warm while out and about Friday evening.  Wind chill values will fall into the 20s throughout Friday evening.

Weekend Hard Freeze…Back-to-back hard, killing freezes can be anticipated Saturday and Sunday mornings.  Though we’ll introduce weekend sunshine into the forecast, it won’t help the temperature department all that much as highs remain 15-20 degrees below average.

Early Week Storm System…Our next weather maker will arrive Tuesday and produce a rather rainy, chilly day.  Early indications suggest light to moderate rainfall totals Tuesday.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

• 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″ – 0.75″
• 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Dusting
