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.

High pressure will give us a nice day today with plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures. Since this mild weather is after the first frost means this can be called “Indian” Summer although that may no longer be politically correct.

A coastal low pressure area will give us a cloudy day on Sunday with periods of mostly light rain, most of the heavier rain will remain over coastal areas with less inland.

Next week will be mild but a couple of weak disturbances will give us a low chance of rain on Monday and again on Wednesday. Most highs will be in the 60s with some 70s possible especially on Tuesday. Overnight lows will be quite mild with readings only dropping into the 50s.

TODAY – OCT 22 – Sunny, high in the upper 60s.
