4 things to know about the weather
- Another winner today
- Near 80° tomorrow
- Scary warm Halloween
- Maybe a drop or two Friday
This insanely dry pattern is showing no signs of giving up the ghost just yet.
There will be at least a chance for the area to get a few hundredths of an inch of rain on Friday morning, but no significant rain is in sight.
While waiting for the rain, we might as well enjoy the sunshine and the warmth. Our average high is now down to 65° and falling quickly, but only this Saturday and Sunday will be anywhere near it.
Plan for 70° Tuesday, 80° Wednesday and low 80s on Thursday (Halloween)! A cold front will arrive late Thursday night and could bring us those few drops of rain in the first half of Friday.

A cooler weekend ahead after a quick warmup in temps
Friday will still be in the 70s before the cooler air settles in for the weekend. A high of 60° on Saturday will feel almost cold and there is likely to be a frost on Sunday morning.
Daytime highs should return to the low to mid-70s for next Monday, Tuesday (Election Day) and Wednesday.
