Cold and cloudy. Not exactly what we had in mind for the end of October sitting in the mid 30's during the evening hours! We're supposed to be seeing highs in the mid to upper 50's, but we've only gotten highs in the mid 40's and it's looking to stay that way for a while. A low pressure system to the north is pushing substantial amounts of cold air into our area, which is why we're 10° below average.
That low is also pushing a rain/snow mix through our area, but its fairly light overall. It'll become a little more scattered during the overnight, but by the time it moves out a little after 8am Saturday, the accumulation will be very light. Afterwards, even though the wintry mix will be gone, the cold air will keep coming, and this will only allow for highs around 43° Saturday afternoon.
With this strong inflow of cold air, our overnight temperatures will be taking a hit as well, as we'll be cooling down into the upper 20's Saturday night. This prompted a Freeze Warning over our area, in effect from Saturday at 9pm to Sunday at 9am. Be sure to bring anything valuable you have outside into your home, because this quick and unseasonable drop in temperatures will allow for a killing freeze.
The winter-like weather will be staying with us for the next several days, and temperatures near 50° will only be possible towards the end of the work week next week. And yes....this means Halloween is looking to be a cold one, with highs only expected to make it into the low 40's on Tuesday. However, during the evening, those temperatures will be in the 30's, so if your kids plant to Trick of Treat, a winter coat will definitely be needed!
