Showers and Thunderstorms Likely on Friday

Weather Update – 10:30 p.m. – Wednesday, October 9th

Our temperatures quickly rose to the lower and even middle 80s in some spots this afternoon. Tomorrow will be even warmer but this “heat wave” will be short-lived! We’re looking at a potential for frost this weekend and wind chills are worth talking about to describe how cold it could be!

TONIGHT
Skies will be mostly clear to partly cloudy overnight, and that additional cloud cover will keep temperatures to around 60°F at the coolest point of the night – not quite as cold as it was this morning.

The sky will be mixed with clouds and sunshine tomorrow accompanied by a few showers. Rain chances are highest between the later hours of the morning and early evening. Any rain that develops in the area is likely to only be light and brief. Temperatures are expected to reach the lower to middle 80s tomorrow – a bit warm for this time of the year – colder weather returns this weekend. A cold front will come through Friday afternoon and evening bringing scattered thunderstorms and one or two of those storms could become strong or severe – stay weather aware! The temperature is currently forecast to drop 41°F overnight from Friday afternoon to Saturday morning with wind chills in the lower to middle 30s early Saturday.
