Highs for Sunday afternoon will be around 80°F. Humidity will remain low, so it’ll feel quite nice and comfortable even with the warmer tempss. We’ll be back in the 70s on Monday. Both days will feature some breezy conditions, with winds out of the SW at times gusting to 20-25 mph ahead of an approaching cold front.
That cold front will bring us cooler temperatures starting Tuesday. Highs only in the low 60s for most of next week. With clear skies, light winds and low humidity, the mornings will be cold, with temps in the upper 40s for the metro and upper 30s to low 40s inland. Away from the coastline, we may see some patchy frost develop Wednesday night and Thursday night where temps are in the 30s. Wakefield, Franklin areas will have the best chance of seeing this.
There may only be some isolated showers on Tuesday/Wednesday. Rainfall totals won’t be impressive, so if you see one you’ll be lucky!
TROPICAL UPDATE
In the tropics, what was Leslie has become a post-tropical cyclone. Otherwise, there’s a system in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean that may form in the next 7 days, but no other concerns at this time and no US threats in the next 7 days expected. We are now through the most active time of hurricane season – but that doesn’t mean the season is over. We’ve seen storms form in late October and November before, so continue to stay updated over the next few weeks.
COMET IN THE NIGHT SKY
This evening (and Monday) – check out the comet in the night sky. This comet, named Comet C/2023 A3 will be visible in the evening sky through the end of the month. It will get higher in the sky through the month, but also get dimmer. So now through the next week is the best viewing opportunity.
If you have binoculors or a telescope, or even a zoom camera lens – that’ll be the best way to see it with some definition. Otherwise, it will look a little dim to your naked eye.
As you look for it in the western sky, you’ll likely spot VENUS first – as a bright white dot. Look to the right of there, and you should be able to see it. You can use Stellarium to see what else you may spot.
Hope you have a great Sunday!
