This year's edition of the spooky holiday begins with some sunshine, with clouds gradually gathering up as the afternoon progresses. This is in response to our next area of low pressure which will be diving in from the Upper Midwest. Along for the ride will be enough atmospheric moisture for a sprinkle or two. Temperatures will peak in the low 50s, then drop into the 40s for trick-or-treat hours.
Sprinkle chances will continue overnight Friday and into the first half of Saturday. Temperatures and atmospheric conditions aloft by Saturday morning may become favorable enough for graupel or soft ice pellets to also be a possibility.
Cloud cover, and a cool northwesterly wind will limit high temperatures to the upper 40s. We should get in on a bit more sunshine on Sunday, helping afternoon highs climb back into the low 50s. Winds will pick up Sunday evening into Sunday night as our next cold front approaches from the northwest. Forecast models show this boundary sweeping through sometime Monday afternoon and with it comes little to no cool Canadian air. So we can expect an upward swing in our high temperatures next week.
Also happening this weekend is the time change. At 2AM Sunday, daylight saving time comes to an end, leaving sunrise times closer to 6:30AM and sunset times closer to 4:45PM.
From there, sunrises will get later and sunsets will get earlier until the day of the winter solstice. That is set to occur on December 21st at 9:03AM!
