RECORD WARMTH POSSIBLE
It was a summer-like day out there with some record highs! We also had a few passing showers across the island with breezy conditions as we made it through this Wednesday.
A cold front moves through tonight, bringing partly cloudy skies and a noticeable drop in temperatures. Overnight lows will fall into the lower 50s as cooler, drier air settles into the region.
Thursday is shaping up to be a beautiful fall day, with plenty of sunshine, lower humidity and afternoon temperatures ranging from 60 to 65 degrees. It will be cooler than today, but still a pleasant day to get outside and enjoy the fall weather.
Our next weather system arrives Friday, bringing cloudy skies and scattered showers throughout the day. Temperatures will remain relatively mild, with highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s. The bigger story comes Friday night as a strong cold front moves across the region. Showers and possibly a few thunderstorms will accompany the front, followed by increasingly gusty winds and a surge of much colder air. Wind gusts could reach 35 to 40 mph overnight, with temperatures tumbling into the lower 40s by Saturday morning. Showers should move out and skies will begin clearing toward daybreak.
Get ready for some serious weather whiplash! After a taste of summer warmth, a major cool-down is heading our way. Friday starts mild and cloudy with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s and scattered showers, but a strong cold front will sweep through by Friday night. That brings late-night rain, a few potential thunderstorms, and wind gusts up to 40 mph before temperatures plummet into the low 40s by Saturday morning. Saturday will feel drastically different and properly blustery, featuring mostly sunny skies and highs struggling to reach the low 50s. With northwest winds gusting up to 40 mph, it will feel more like the 30s making it prime weather for heavy jackets at the pumpkin patch
Winds will ease up Saturday night, letting inland temperatures drop into the 30s with a chance of patchy frost. Fortunately, Sunday is shaping up to be the star of the weekend, offering calmer winds, plenty of sunshine, and a crisp, pleasant autumn afternoon with highs in the 50s.
