Back to the 70's? It's possible this weekend

The weather for the first couple weeks of October was kind of cool and definitely rainy.  This week, we've entered into a little more of a drier pattern with only a few opportunities for rainfall - Thursday and then again next Monday.  The dry weather will be nice for the local farmers as there were only two or three days that were suitable for getting out in the fields to finish the harvest last week.

To add to the drier pattern will be the warmth that is expected to arrive by the end of the week and for the weekend.  A pattern change in the jet stream will shift winds around to the southwest on Saturday which will give temperatures a nice boost back into the 60's, possibly even the 70's!  Winds will be strong on Sunday with gusts close to 30-35 mph, and this time of year you need a strong wind to get those kind of temperatures.  But hey, who's complaining.  Unfortunately, after next Monday we're back down to reality behind a cold front with temperatures falling back into the 50's.
