Meteorologist Madeline Evans’ First Warning Forecast

Expect mostly sunny skies again tomorrow. High temperatures will drop to the low 60s tomorrow.

Sunny skies will continue Wednesday for Halloween with a big warm up. Highs will climb into the low 70s. For trick or treaters temperatures will only drop into the mid to upper 50s so it will be comfortable out.

Thursday will be the warmest day with highs in the upper 70s, about ten degrees above normal.

Our next chance for rain will move in with a cold front on Friday. Rain should move out in time for the weekend as temperatures cool back into the 60s.

Tonight: A Few Clouds. Lows in the mid 40s. Winds: NW 5-15
