Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
Better fasten your seat belts because we are in for a big temperature plunge. And the colder weather is going to stick around for quite a while!
A strong cold front crossed the region on Wednesday afternoon, bringing us clouds, but no rain.
In fact, it looks like we have a long stretch of sunny and dry weather on the way.
Most of us will wake up to temperatures in the mid-to-upper 30s on Thursday morning, but some of us will get down to, or even below freezing!
By Thursday afternoon, expect high temperatures only in the upper 40s which is well below our normal high temperature of 62°.
In fact, we expect temperatures 10 to 15° below normal all the way into early next week.
A second cold front will push through on Saturday. That front wheel usher in even colder air.
Most of us will wake up to temperatures near freezing on Monday morning. And that means many spots where it typically gets colder. We’ll start the work week in the 20s.
But as we head through Thanksgiving week, temperatures will start to warm up.
By the big travel day on Wednesday we expect high temperatures near 60° with a slight chance for a few showers.
