Clearing for the End of the Week

Yesterday's low pressure center continues to move south this morning. We'll see some lingering fog and drizzle to start things off, but skies will gradually clear this afternoon. Highs today will reach the upper 40s and low 50s.

Clear skies and calm winds overnight will drop lows into the low 30s. Patchy fog will develop during the early hours, before sunshine settles in for the rest of the day. Southerly winds will warm us into the mid 50s on Thursday and the upper 50s and low 60s on Friday. Saturday will bring a bit more cloud cover, but also the warmest temperatures of the week. Highs will hit the mid 60s to start off our weekend. Sunday will be mild and muggy as a cold front approaches from the west. Showers and thunderstorms will move through with the front Sunday night into Monday. Much cooler temperatures will follow into early next week. Highs will only reach the low to mid 40s into Tuesday. Southerly winds and sun will bring a mild warm up for the middle of the week. Look for low 50s by Thursday.

Rainy Election Day

A cold front approaching from the northwest will increase cloud cover this morning and bring a chance of rain this afternoon. Expect showers to start around noon today, continuing into the afternoon and early evening hours. Highs today will be stuck in the upper 40s. Overnight lows will drop into the low to mid 30s as we dry things out.

Wednesday will bring gradual clearing but highs will still only reach the upper 40s. Sunshine and southerly winds will bring a warming trend for the end of the work week. Highs will reach the upper 50s and low 60s by Friday. Saturday will be the warmest day of the week, bringing highs in the mid 60s. A powerful cold front will move in on Sunday bringing in a chance of showers and thunderstorms into early next week. Temperatures will drop significantly next week. Highs will only reach the mid 40s through Wednesday.

Cloudy & Cool

A weak low pressure system to the southwest will bring a chance of light rain to the southwest this morning. Most of us will stay dry though, with mostly cloudy skies and highs in the mid to upper 40s this afternoon. We'll see enough clearing overnight to drop lows into the low to mid 30s.

Cloud cover quickly returns on Tuesday as a cold front approaches from the northwest. Shower chances will move in for the afternoon and evening hours, so get to the polls early on Election Day.

Skies will clear behind the system for Wednesday. In fact, sunshine and southerly winds will continue through the end of the work week, warming highs into the upper 50s and low 60s by Friday. A strong storm system will move in for next weekend, bringing cloud cover on Saturday and thunderstorm chances on Sunday. A powerful cold front sliding through Sunday night into Monday will bring us a good chance at rain into early next week. We'll start to clear things out on Tuesday, but temperatures will drop drastically into the low 40s for next week.

Fall Like Friday

Northerly winds and increasing cloud cover will keep highs a few degrees cooler today. Highs this afternoon will hit the upper 40s and low 50s. Clouds will keep lows mild in the mid 30s overnight. A low pressure system to the south could bring a slight chance of a few sprinkles to our southwestern-most counties on Saturday morning. Most of us will be dry and cloudy through the weekend with highs near 50 into Sunday. A few clouds will stick around into early next week, before sunshine and warmer temperatures move in by Wednesday. Look for highs to reach the upper 50s by the end of next week. It's still a bit far out, but we're keeping a close eye on a possible strong storm system next weekend. Rain chances will move in as early as Saturday.

Nice Start to November

Winds finally start settling down today. Expect partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid 50s this afternoon. Skies will clear overnight, dropping lows into the low 30s. Cloud cover will increase on Friday with northerly winds limiting highs to the low 50s. On Saturday, a low pressure system building in from the west will bring a slight chance of showers. Most of this activity will be light in the southwestern most counties of our viewing area. Sunday is looking dry with highs in the upper 40s and low 50s expected for the weekend and early next week. Our next chance at rain will be on Election Day next Tuesday. A low pressure system diving in from the northwest will bring a chance of scattered showers during the day. Next Wednesday will bring the sunshine back, helping temperatures warm into the mid 50s by the end of next week.
