Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
If you're not a fan of these crisp, cool morning and the sunny and mild afternoons (and I'm sure there are one or two of you out there), then you'll like the big warming trend on the way.
We'll be kicking off the weekend with clear skies and temperatures mainly in the 50s on Saturday morning. And by the afternoon we'll see the mercury climb into the lower 80s, which is pretty close to where we should be for this time of the year.
But as an area of high pressure slips offshore, our winds will shift more to the south. That will send our temperatures up for the second half of the weekend. Sunday will bring sunshine and highs in the mid-to-upper 80s.
That warming trend continues as we head into the work week. Expect sunshine and highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s through Thursday.
That means that the first day on fall on Thursday will actually be much warmer than normal.
And the sunshine and blue skies next week mean our rain chances will be almost non existent.
We are on the lookout for a cold front that will move through late next week that should usher in more seasonable temperatures.
