Cold front to bring a seasonable, windy start to October

October begins in a very early October-like way thanks to this morning's cold front.

An organized wind out of the northwest will develop around sunrise, with gusts up to 30 mph lasting into midday. Despite there being a good amount of sunshine after the frontal passage, this cooler wind will limit highs to the upper 60s which is considered seasonable for early October.

Rapid cooling takes place under partly cloudy skies overnight, leaving temperatures in the low 40s, some in the upper 30s Wednesday morning. Tuesday night will allow for rapid cooling to take place. More sunshine is on tap Wednesday. That along with a southwesterly wind will result in slightly warmer temperatures, landing most in the low 70s. At times, winds could gust up to 25 mph.

The warming trend carries on into Thursday as highs climb back towards the 80° mark. Cloud cover will increase as the day progresses as another weak cold front approaches from the northwest. In a similar fashion to this morning's front, a stray shower cannot be ruled out Thursday night into Friday. Temperatures will cool back in the low 70s to round out the work week under partly cloudy skies.

Another cold front aims to slide through the region sometime Sunday morning, bringing with it another small chance for showers. However, signs for a more widespread rainfall are slim to none not only in the near future but also in the long term. In fact, longer range outlooks provided by the Climate Prediction Center show show a higher probability for below average precipitation for not only the Stateline, but a good portion of the country.
