MILD AFTERNOON TEMPS; COLD AIR ARRIVES FRIDAY WITH LOWS NEAR FREEZING THIS WEEKEND… The coldest air of the season so far is on the way later this week but not before mild afternoons today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. High temperatures today will be in the 73-76° range with mostly sunny skies and no rain expected. By the weekend, afternoon highs will be near 60° with the potential for overnight temperatures to reach the freezing mark in some inland communities. Rain looks to be hard to come by over the next few days with dry conditions forecast to persist this week into the upcoming weekend.
NICE MONDAY WEATHER; HIGHS IN 70S… Plenty of sunshine is expected on this Monday as high pressure keeps dry air in place across our region. Temperatures will rise into the low to mid 70s this afternoon, making for nice weather if you have plans outside. No rain is expected today or tonight.
PLEASANT DAYS, CHILLY NIGHTS THROUGH WEDNESDAY… High temperatures will reach the mid to upper 70s tomorrow, followed by similar temperatures on Wednesday. Nights will gradually become milder ahead of the arrival of the big cold front later this week. Lows tonight will range from near 40° inland to the low 60s closer to the coast. Dry weather continues through Tuesday before a weak disturbance brings a small chance of showers Tuesday night into Wednesday. Rain coverage looks VERY limited, with nearly all communities likely to stay dry. Can’t rule out a few sprinkles Tuesday night.
PASSING CLOUDS THURSDAY AHEAD OF COLD FRONT… The strong cold front is expected to move across our area Thursday afternoon into Thursday evening. High temperatures will be in the low to mid 70s ahead of the colder air moving in. A few showers may happen, but rain chances remain low, at a 10% chance or less. The main story with this front will be the temperature drop rather than widespread rain.
MUCH COLDER ON FRIDAY… Friday will feel quite different from the mild afternoons earlier in the week! High temperatures will only reach the upper 50s to mid 60s as colder, drier air settles into the region. No rain is expected Friday or Friday night. Keep the jackets handy if you will be outside, particularly as temperatures fall during the evening.
FROST LIKELY THIS WEEKEND; FREEZING TEMPS POSSIBLE INLAND… The potential for the first freeze of the season in some northern inland communities is something we will be watching over the next several days. The current forecast brings the coldest spots to around 30° both Saturday morning and Sunday morning. Frost could also become a concern, although its coverage will depend on winds and moisture near the ground. It is too early to pinpoint exactly which communities will reach freezing.
COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON SO FAR THIS WEEKEND… Saturday afternoon will remain chilly, with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. Temperatures will rebound a bit Sunday, reaching the low to mid 60s. Rain chances remain near zero through the weekend, so the colder temperatures will be the main consideration for outdoor plans. This looks like a meaningful cold snap, especially overnight across inland areas.
TROPICS: ATLANTIC BASIN QUIET; HURRICANE SEASON ENDS NOVEMBER 30… The Gulf, Caribbean Sea, and Atlantic Ocean remain quiet, with no active tropical storms or hurricanes and no disturbances highlighted for development. The National Hurricane Center does not expect tropical development across the Atlantic Basin over the next 7 days. The 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season continues through November 30.
