A strong southwest wind will blow both Tuesday and Wednesday warming temperatures into the low 80s Tuesday afternoon, and near 80 degrees Wednesday. Tuesday's high of 82 degrees would break the record high for the 29th of October, which is currently 81 set in 1922! The record high for Wednesday, the 30th, is 83 set back in 1950.
This warmth will be followed by a rather sharp drop in temperatures throughout the day Thursday as a strong cold front moves across the Stateline during the morning. Ahead of the front, scattered showers and thunderstorms can be expected. Temperatures are likely to still be in the 60s Thursday morning as what is known as a 'dry slot' moves across the region. Once the colder air begins to settle in temperatures will start to fall through late morning.
By the afternoon temperatures will be in the 50s, dropping into the 40s by 4pm/5pm. At the same time, northwest winds will be gusting around 30 mph. This will make it feel rather chilly, especially following the summer-like warmth Tuesday and Wednesday. Those heading out for Halloween fun will need the jacket - and perhaps a heavier jacket - as the chill will really begin to set in towards evening.
Winds will ease a little Thursday night allowing overnight lows to dip into the low 30s. We'll see a return of sunshine Friday, but highs will only be in the 50s for the afternoon.
