The showers and thunderstorms with a cold front will continue to decrease through the overnight hours, and the wind will begin to kick up. On Thursday, expect gusty winds around 15-20 mph with a few higher gust around 25-30 mph possible. The low tonight is expected to drop to 40 degrees. The high tomorrow will climb to 60 degrees with a temperature Friday morning of 39 degrees. Definitely a change from what we have been used to. The leave change is in full bloom, and is expected to reach peak next week. Some areas may frost Friday morning and Saturday morning; however, a widespread frost is currently not expected.
In the higher elevations of the mountains, some rain and snow showers are possible later tonight and Thursday. Right now, no accumulations are expected; however, some areas could pick up a quick dusting or a slushy inch before it melts.
Long Range show another dry cold front coming through Monday to help keep temperatures down; however, a warm up into the low 70s looks possible as we move in Wednesday next week. Then we watch for possibly the coldest air of the season next weekend. Its a long ways away, but we are getting due for our first major widespread frost to end the growing season.
This is a good blog. I will check it daily. Keep up the great work man.
