The coastal warm front has weakened, but today will remain mostly cloudy with a chance of drizzle and fog this morning, and a chance of showers this afternoon and evening. Although this afternoon we may see some sunshine. A cold front will cross the area tonight.
High pressure will build from the Great Lakes tomorrow and we should see plenty of sunshine; it will be cooler and much drier with dew points falling into the 30s.
The high pressure will then build to our north on Friday and control our weather through the weekend with plenty of sunshine each day and near normal temperatures.
Unfourtantly it appears that Halloween will be wet as an area of low pressure moves into the area which will likely cause some rain. Showers are still possible on Tuesday.
At this point much of next week temperatures will average well above normal.
