DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 8-12)
Warm/humid air will dominate through Tuesday. A dying cold front has enough moisture to bring showers this morning and this afternoon will feature some clearing and the feel of summer. The remains of Nate arrive Monday with areas of rain/thunderstorms, some of which will be heavy. This gets out of here by early Tuesday and then drier air arrives midweek, but no solid push of very cool air, just briefly cooler Wednesday.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy through early afternoon with numerous showers pushing west to east across the region. Partly sunny mid to late afternoon. Highs 68-75 South Coast, 75-82 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy evening. Cloudy overnight. Chance of rain before dawn. Areas of fog. Humid. Lows 60-67. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Episodes of showers and possible thunderstorms, with some downpours likely. Humid. Highs 67-73. Wind S 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Risk of showers early. Lowering humidity. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Breezy. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 13-17)
High pressure should be in general control with above normal temperatures overall, but a front from the north and a new high pressure area in Canada may cool it down slightly at the end of the period. Also have to watch this pattern because at times if the high pressure area is centered too far to the north we end up in a more marine flow and cloudiness can be more prevalent at times, and any disturbances to the south can get closer and threaten the region.
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 18-22)
1 or 2 shots of very cool air are possible during this period as the pattern enters a transitional phase. Will keep an eye on it and elaborate further.
