Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
After some spectacular weather to end the work week, with blue skies, sunshine and highs near 80°, Mother Nature reminds us that it is still fall after all.
A strong cold front will cross the region late Friday, and into the first part of Saturday. That front will send temperatures plunging 15 to 20°.
And while we expect temperatures to fall, we are not expecting rain to fall as the front passes.
We will see an increase in clouds and a gusty north wind on Saturday with high temperatures only in the lower 60s.
Sunday will be a more pleasant day, with sunshine returning in force. That should help warm us up into the mid and even upper 60s.
The sunshine and the warm up continue into the work week. Expect high temperatures near 70 on Monday and Tuesday and climbing into the mid 70s by Thursday.
However, another cold front will move in by late Thursday, bringing with it scattered showers and another drop in temperatures.
By Friday we are back where we started in the 60s.
