Storm Team4 Forecast: Chilly mornings on tap but expect a mild week in 70s
4 things to know about the weather:
- Frosty start for many
- Another week without rain
- Halloween will be warm
- Rain chance on Election Day
A new week starts with the same old forecast, not that anyone’s been complaining. Sunny and mild.
On average, this upcoming week is going to be a few degrees warmer than last week. That’s a good deal in late October when averages are on a downhill side.
Last week our average high was 68° and our low 51. Now, it’s 66° and 49°. So highs near 70° Monday and Tuesday will be about 5° above average with a continuation of the blue skies each afternoon.

Halloween forecast
A weak cold front will reach the area on Wednesday bringing added clouds and a brief cooldown. The air at the surfaces too dry for a rain chances but the loss of sunshine will keep highs in the mid-60s.
That front will wash out and allow Thursday, Friday and Saturday to warm back into at least the low to mid-70s. There’s even a 40% chance that Friday could reach 80°.
Another cold front will approach on Saturday so plan for more clouds and highs still near 70°. For trick-or-treaters, temperatures will be in the 60s Saturday evening.
The clocks go back one hour Saturday night at bedtime. Sunday looks to be very cloudy but, as for now, the rain chances look to hold off until next Monday.
