Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
Temperatures dropped frighteningly fast on Halloween as a cold front crossed our region. And we have even chillier weather on the way!
Showers should clear the region after midnight and skies should start to clear.
We'll wake up to some lingering clouds on Wednesday morning, which should help prop our temperatures up. Most of us will kick off the day with temperatures in the 40s.
But we'll enjoy wall-to-wall sunshine in the afternoon. It'll be one of those days that looks a lot warmer out the window than when you step out the door.
Most of us can expect high temperatures only in the lower 50s.
And with those clear skies, temperatures will drop quickly after sunset on Wednesday.
And many of us will wake up close to the freezing mark on Thursday morning. That's why we have a Freeze Watch in effect for most of our region.
But if you're not a fan of the colder weather, there's good news as we head into the weekend.
Our winds will shift to the south and west, sending temperatures much higher for the weekend.
While we won't be setting any heat records, we can expect very comfortable highs in the lower 70s on Saturday and Sunday. Stay tuned!
