Sunny Days; Pattern Change On The Horizon…
Highlights:
- Extended stretch of dry, sunny weather
- Late weekend cold front
- Much colder close to the month looms
Ideal, Crisp Fall Day…Sheltered, lower lying communities are waking up to temperatures in the middle and upper 30s this morning with patchy frost. The rest of us are in the lower to middle 40s with just enough breeze preventing a deeper overnight fall. All of us we’ll moderate into the mid and upper 60s this afternoon under a clear sky. Those mostly sunny conditions will continue into mid and late week with moderating temperatures.
Our next storm system will arrive during the second half of the weekend in the form of a cold front. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will move in Sunday afternoon and evening ahead of the front. Cooler air will invade behind the frontal passage, but the true chilly stuff will press in early next week. Speaking of chilly weather, medium and longer range data continues to paint a cold close to the month and open to November. Warm costumes will be needed for trick-or-treating this year.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.25″ – 0.50″

Falling Temperatures Today; Dry Weather Returns…
Highlights:
- Temperatures fall through the day
- Sunshine returns this week
- Pleasant stretch of weather ahead
Jackets And Sweaters Required By This Afternoon…A cold front will continue to march east this morning and this will push a broken band of showers east through the state. Rainfall amounts won’t be significant, but will be enough to be a nuisance on the way to church or brunch this morning. This afternoon, we’ll notice an increasingly gusty breeze and falling temperatures. While it’s mild this morning, it’ll feel much cooler as we progress through the afternoon and evening hours. Jackets and sweaters will be required!
High pressure will settle overhead for the upcoming week and this will lead to an extended period of dry, pleasant weather. Temperatures will moderate from seasonably cool early-week to unseasonably mild by late-week. As expected, the late September and early October warmth (particularly warm overnight lows) really stunted our fall foliage this year. That said, the cool, calm nights ahead this week will be sufficient enough to at least ignite some of the remaining leaves on trees for what should be a couple weeks of “decent” color ahead.
Longer term, there are big goings on behind the scenes that will help drive a dramatically different weather pattern to wrap up the month of October and head into November. Heads up to the parents out there, you may want to nudge the kiddos into picking a warm costume this Halloween…
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.10″ – 0.25″

Weekend Warmup Ahead Of The Coolest Air Of The Season…
Highlights:
- Weekend Warmup
- Scattered showers Sunday morning
- Gusty winds and falling temperatures
Weekend Changes…Before we discuss our weekend weather, we should finally see the “doom and gloom” depart later this afternoon as enough of a southwest breeze and drier air helps scour out the low clouds, drizzle, and fog. Improvements will come slowly, but surely as we progress into the afternoon hours.
A delightful Saturday is dialed up, including what’s very likely to be our last 80° reading until next spring. Northern portions of the state will get in on some shower activity Saturday, but we’ll remain dry and windy here on the home front. As the cold front draws closer to the region, scattered showers and embedded thunder will blow into town Sunday morning. This won’t be a significant rain event and the much bigger deal will be the falling afternoon temperatures and gusty northwest breeze. You’ll need a jacket before the sun sets Sunday.
The cooler ending to the weekend is a harbinger of things to come as we open the new work week. In fact, temperatures will fall low enough to warrant a patchy frost risk for outlying areas away from the metro Monday and Tuesday mornings. Sun-filled skies and cool, crisp afternoons are on tap next week.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.10″ – 0.25″
