Today's Weather Forecast 10/18/2013

Normally I'm not as long-winded as I have been the past few days with the weather. Blame an active, complex weather pattern for that. But it finally gets a bit easier, but at a price ... much cooler weather.
Friday will feature the return of some sun with after some possible morning clouds as our cold front exits the coast, with highs in the mid 60s.

Saturday looks partly sunny in the morning. Increasing clouds in the afternoon ahead of a secondary cold front. Highs in the mid 60s.

A few showers are possible Saturday night thanks to that front. They should clear out by Sunday making for another at least partly sunny day with highs notably cooler, this time only in the low 60s, perhaps upper 50s in the normally cooler locations.

Cool weather continues all of next week with the temperatures trying ever so slightly to rebound Tuesday only to be knocked down even bigger by late week when temperatures may struggle to get out of the 40s and low 50s!

Today's Weather Forecast - 10/17/13

Changes are brewing. By this time next week, it will REALLY feel like the depths of autumn, something we've been spoiled not to have really had to this point. Highs a week from now may not make it out of the 50s (upper 40s possible in higher elevations of the Poconos!) Until then, we have one more day of real warmth with temperatures hanging in the upper 60s on Thursday. If the sun can break out, perhaps 70, but latest trends are looking cloudier, much like Wednesday was.

 

A slow moving cold front and low pressure move through overnight Thursday into Friday with periods of light rain. Not looking for a ton of rain, but it'll be enough to moisten the ground and perhaps make driving slick on wet leaves Thursday night.

 

Friday things should quickly clear out with the sun returning. Temperatures mainly in the mid 60s which is cooler but still not too bad for October. 

 

Both days of the weekend are similar with temperatures slowly slipping some more. But we'll REALLY start to feel the difference NEXT week as a series of dry cold fronts pass on through, reinforcing the cooler air and reminding us that old-man winter is just around the corner.
