DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 26-30)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our weather is going to undergo a significant change before this 5-day period ends, but it starts out with 3 more days of anomalous warmth, due to a strong ridge of high pressure over the southeastern US. Being near the northern edge of this ridge, we see lots of clouds in our sky, but as the ridge nudges northward it will help push those clouds away later today and even more so for Friday and Saturday. Those 2 days, other than the lower late October sun angle and changing foliage, will remind you a bit of summer. But “summer’s” days are numbered. As high pressure ridging weakens and starts to retreat southward, a frontal boundary held at bay will finally be able to move through the region from northwest to southeast Saturday night and Sunday, introducing the beginning of a significant cool-down. The chilly air won’t come blasting in all at once though. Sunday will still be mild in comparison to normal, just not as warm as Saturday. We’ll also see the return of cloudiness and eventually a shower chance as a wave of low pressure along the frontal boundary approaches our region late in the day. Based on current timing and more reliable guidance, I think we will get through a fair amount of the day Sunday without a wet weather threat, and that most of the rainfall from this wave will occur Sunday night and the first half of Monday. Later Monday we should see a drying trend with chilly air becoming more established as the low pressure wave departs the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 31 \u2013 NOVEMBER 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Temperatures below normal during this period. Current outlook is dry for Halloween, then watching a wave of low pressure with a precipitation chance (mainly rain but some frozen precipitation may be involved especially inland higher elevations if the coverage is great enough) around November 1, before dry weather returns with below normal temps, then a moderation. Clouds and a shower threat may return as early as the very end of the period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 5-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unsettled weather possible at the start of the period before a push of milder air and fair weather. A brief rain shower chance introduces cooler weather again before the end of the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
