Good Sunday to one and all. Our weekend weather continues to be nothing short of awesome and that’s made your friendly weatherdude popular of late. (First time for everything! :)) We have a couple more days of the nice stuff before we see things take a turn toward the chilly and then flat out cold.

Highs today will range from the mid and upper 60s in the north and east to the 70s in the west. Those 70s will take control of the state on Monday on a strong southwesterly wind. That wind will eventually blow in a line of showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday. That’s when a strong cold front swings in from the west…

Euro 2 Winds will be very gusty as this font passes through and colder air follows that up for Wednesday. Highs in the 50s look good for many.

The Halloween weekend cold blast is still on schedule. Can this bring the first flakes of the season our way? That remains a possibility, but I won’t be able to say with any certainty for a few more days. Let me remind you how computer models tend to react with winter type systems. They will often latch on to something in the 7-10 period, then lose it a bit in the 4-7 day window, then find it again within 3 or 4 days.

The European Model continues to be the strongest of the models with the cold and potential wintry weather in the eastern part of the country…

EuroThe latest run from the GFS is a bit farther north and east with that system, but it still brings the cold…

GFS 2

As I said, we are in that 4-7 day window of model changes, so we need to let the dust settle before settling in on any one solution.

I will update things this evening so check back.

Make it a great Saturday and take care.
