FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Good Tuesday Evening,

It has been one of the warmest October 22nds on record with highs topping 80 degrees today. Some scattered clouds will roll through tonight, with a southerly flow continuing, with lows only in the low to mid 50s.

Wednesday expect the winds out of the south to southwest to push temps back into the middle 70s ahead of the cold front that will push in by mid-afternoon. We could see an isolated sprinkle, mainly north and northeast of the city. Winds will become gusty as the front pushes through and temps will slowly fall back into the lower 70s to upper 60s by sunset.

Thursday will be a seasonal day with highs in the lower 60s with clearing skies. We will see temps bump back to the low to mid 70s ahead of a stronger front Friday, which will bring our best chance of showers (and its not a great chance) on Friday later in the day into the Football Friday Nite hours.

Behind the front, temps will fall back to the lower 60s for Saturday and Sunday with clearing skies. We will start another warm-up next week, with highs in the upper 60s on Monday, and middle 70s next Tuesday.
