After a sunny, warm Thursday, a cold front tonight will bring a few showers overnight and cloudy, cooler weather for Friday. Saturday will remain cool but with much more sunshine. Sunny, dry, and increasingly mild weather will be in place for Sunday and the early part of next week. A pattern shift with a chance for meaningful rainfall still looks possible late next week and beyond.
Published Thursday, October 29
Thursday
What:Â Sunny, some late clouds
Thursday will see ample sunshine through the morning and into most of the afternoon. Some late clouds will eventually build in from the north, but some areas may not see any until around or after sunset. Winds will shift slightly to the southwest and blow at up to 10 mph, pushing temperatures to the low 70s. Some higher elevations may stick to the upper 60s.
The nighttime hours are expected to be cloudy with scattered showers, especially during the evening hours. While some rain is likely, amounts will be minimal. Overnight lows will likely stay in the low and mid 50s before dropping a little further right before sunrise.
Friday
What: Rather cloudy. Maybe an early shower.
A stray shower lingering from Thursday night cannot be totally ruled out early Friday morning as the cold front continues to slowly make its way through. Clouds look as though they may hang tough, though sunshine will try to poke out during the afternoon. Winds will turn to the northwest and increase with speeds as high as 15 mph and gusts to 30 mph. The northwest winds will hold temperatures in the mid and locally upper 50s. Temperatures will then drop into the mid and upper 30s Friday night.
Saturday- Halloween
What: Sun and a few clouds
High pressure will be moving into the area on Saturday, keeping Halloween sunny and dry. A few clouds may linger early on, but otherwise, sunshine will rule. Winds will remain from the northwest, but lighter with speeds around 5 mph. That will hold temperatures in the 50s for the afternoon again. Winds will turn calm by sunset as the high pressure center moves overhead. Temperatures will drop into the mid and upper 40s for the prime trick-or-treating window, then to the upper 30s or around 40 degrees overnight.
Sunday
What: Sunny
Sunday should be filled with sunshine with just a couple stray thin clouds, mostly late in the day. With high pressure to the east, winds will come lightly from the south. That should be enough to boost temperatures up to the low 60s and hold nighttime temperatures to the mid 40s.
Monday
What: Sun and clouds
Dry weather is expected on Monday, but some clouds will mix with the sunshine as a weather system begins to approach from the west. Winds will be light and variable with highs in the mid 60s. Nighttime temperatures will be in the upper 40s.
Tuesday
What: Clouds and sun
There should be an uptick in cloud cover on Tuesday, but dry weather is expected to remain in place. Southerly winds may pick up, so whatever temperature loss would come from the increase in clouds will be counterbalanced by the wind. Highs should at least reach the mid 60s, but could be warmer. Some rain showers late in the day or Tuesday night cannot be ruled out, but look unlikely.
Wednesday
What: Sun and clouds… or showers?
The forecast confidence for Wednesday is low, with a split between sun and clouds and a rainier solution. Rain is probably less likely than another dry day, but time will tell. Temperatures will remain mild.
Late Next Week
Rain looks more likely late in the week and possibly into next weekend, some of which could be meaningful. Temperatures will likely run warm through the end of the week, though there is a larger than usual degree of uncertainty. Cooler, unsettled weather looks possible beyond next weekend with highs somewhere around 50 degrees.
