High pressure keeps us dry today! Lots of sunshine & southerly winds put highs in the upper 60s, setting us up for a nice fall afternoon. But moisture ahead of the next frontal system will begin to seep into our northwestern zones tonight. This will keep much of the forecast area well insulated during the overnight hours. As a result, temps will stay mild tonight with lows in the upper 40s.

Wednesday will be mostly cloudy with highs in the mid to upper 60s. Sparse rain showers are expected for our westernmost zones during the day. Then a more potent wave will sweep across the entire forecast area Wednesday night bringing gusty winds, the chance for a few rumbles of thunder & potential for briefly hazardous water situation for our western zones by Thursday morning. Then, as that system exits our area Thursday night, cold air behind the frontal boundary & northwest flow aloft will drop temps enough to see a changeover to a wet snow into Friday morning.

Our weather will quiet down during the day Friday to end the week on a dry note. But clearing skies & cold air lingering across our area will make for some chilly nights to round out the week. Skies will be partly to mostly sunny this weekend. But highs are only expected to reach the mid 50s with lows falling below freezing. Freeze/frost warnings are likely, so you may want to go ahead and put on some pants!
