Yesterday we warmed up into the upper 60s and low 70s over the region. It was very nice out in the afternoon after a chilly start. Today we started off much milder. Temps were in the 50s mostly with only a couple of 40s inland.

We did develop some clouds this morning, but that probably kept the fog from becoming widespread. Today we are going to warm up quite a bit more. During this time of year our average high temps are in the upper 60s.

We are aiming for the upper 70s later today.

As you can see, the eastern half of the country is actually running pretty warm today.

The local clouds will break up and the wind will be out of the southwest at 5-10mph. This will be able to push our highs to well above the average. It will be a pretty nice day again, but the humidity will start to increase. Dew points are climbing into the upper 50s.

High pressure is offshore with a cold front over the Midwest.

That front will play a part in our forecast as we go into the weekend.

Tomorrow will be well ahead of the front. It will be unseasonably warm for the Halloween holiday. During the day we’ll have lots of sunshine. We’ll also have a nice southwest breeze running at 8-12mph. So high temps will push up to near 80 over most of the area.

With dew points near 60 it will feel like the typical end of Summer or the start of the Fall season.

It will be warm and sunny for the day, but by the evening temps should cool to the 70s (which is not that cool).

At least there won’t be any rain. This will be much warmer than last year, but we have had some mild Halloweens over the past few years.

We’ll stay warm on Friday. High temps will be near 80 again. We’ll have increasing clouds with some isolated showers late.

A cold front will move through the area Friday night. It may produce some spotty showers. However, the front will likely dry out before it gets here. We’ll definitely dry out on Saturday with high temps falling to the low 60s. We’ll be dry and cool on Sunday with highs in the mid 60s.

By the way…This is the weekend when we turn the clocks back one hour.

The tropical disturbance in the western Caribbean is showing signs of a little strengthening, but it still very disorganized. It still has a medium chance of formation over the next few days.

We’ll keep a close eye on it.
