Benign Mid-Autumn Conditions
Matt Ross @ 1:00 AM
We will see mild conditions over the next couple days. Thursday, a front will pass through with some possible heavy rain, and then cooler conditions as we head into the weekend. Stay tuned for updates.
Today
Pleasant Fall Day. Today will become partly sunny after some morning clouds. Afternoon high temps will be above average in the mid 60s.
Tonight and Tomorrow
Becoming Cloudier. Tonight we will see partly cloudy skies with lows in the mid to upper 40s. Wednesday will become mostly cloudy by afternoon with highs in the low to mid 60s. There is a slight chance of rain later in the day, which will increase as we head overnight. See Jason's forecast for the rest of the week and weekend.
Climo Notes
November is now running slightly above average, as the warmth of late last week completely erased the negative departures accumulated at the beginning of the month. I think we will see enough cold air in the 2nd half of the month to put us in the negative column for the 3rd month in a row. If this happens, it would be the 1st series of 3 consecutive below average months since the summer of 2004, and the 1st consecutive set of below average autumn months since 1976.
