High pressure offshore ahead of a cold front will give our area a west-southwest flow of unseasonably warm air today with records likely. High temperatures will be close to 90 degrees. The highest October temperature since my records began in 1973 is 88 degrees set on October 8, 2007 so a new monthly high temperature for this month is also possible today. The cold front will cross the area this evening giving us a chance of showers and thunderstorms, also it will become much cooler behind the front with temperatures possibly dropping 20 degrees in an hour or two.

A low pressure along the front will cause periods of rain on Thursday and it will be chilly with highs only around 60 degrees.

Mostly fair and cool Friday and Saturday as high pressure builds into the area. Temperatures early Saturday morning may drop down into the 30s with possible frost well inland.

Milder on Sunday but another front may cause showers late in the day and at night.
