First Fall Freeze A Week Away

We've been pretty spoiled this month when it comes to the weather, at least with the temperatures.  The monthly average temperature for October is a whopping 6.8 degree above average!  That's pretty impressive. 

But it looks like our luck is about to run out late next week.  A cold front Sunday will knock high temperatures only down into the 60's for both Sunday and Monday.  A second cold front late Monday night will push afternoon highs on Tuesday into the mid 50's.  It'll feel colder, but only because we've become used to such mild weather.  And actually highs in the 50's will be closer to our 'normal' temperature than what we are currently.




Tuesday night will be cold, and most likely blustery.  It looks like we'll have a little wind to deal with during the afternoon, along with scattered rain showers.  Depending on how much cloud cover sticks around Tuesday evening, overnight lows could fall into the mid 30's. 




By the end of next week another cold front, and a stronger one, will help pull down an even colder air mass over the Midwest and Great Lakes.  This could push high temperatures on Friday only into the upper 40's!  If we don't see a freeze Tuesday night, it's most likely to happen either next Friday or Saturday night.  Temperatures Friday night could fall into the low 30's and Saturday night into the upper 20's!


Typically our first fall freeze occurs anywhere between the 8th and 10th of October, with a hard freeze (28 degrees or colder) occurring about a week after.




So get out and enjoy Saturday (even though it will be breezy and cloudy) because this may be our last mild weekend until next Spring.
