Staying warm before a sharp weekend cooldown – Chris

Good Thursday night! We’re heading into a weekend with two very different personalities. Friday stays unusually warm for late October, with highs in the mid-70s. A stray afternoon shower is possible, but most of the day looks dry. Saturday will also be very warm, with highs in the mid-70s, but it turns windy and more unsettled. A few showers are possible, though this still does not look like an all-day washout. For football games, fall festivals, yard work, or other outdoor plans Saturday, the bigger issue may be the wind rather than the rain. Keep the jacket nearby for later in the day, too, because temperatures will begin dropping quickly Saturday night. By Sunday, the change is obvious. Highs fall nearly 20 degrees, only reaching the mid-50s. It stays windy, clouds linger, and a stray shower remains possible. If Saturday feels more like September, Sunday will feel much more like late October. That cooler pattern sticks around into next week. Monday and Tuesday b
