A cold front is working its way through the area this evening which will usher in some positive changes for our weather as we close out the work week.

First thing you’ll notice on Wednesday morning is that it’ll almost feel a little more like fall (away from the coast, anyway — the warm water temperatures will blunt the cooldown some there). Expect lows in the mid-60s to start the day; dewpoints in the low 60s will feel fairly amazing coupled with those temperatures. Highs head to the mid-80s in the afternoon under partly cloudy skies with a northeasterly breeze. Rain chances are very minimal, though the happy hour NAM was a bit intrigued with the idea of a few seabreeze popup showers in the afternoon. This seems to be an outlier solution, though.

Winds turn a touch more easterly on Thursday, which could expose the coastal areas a bit more to the potential for a few showers and storms to drift ashore. This’ll depend on where the front ultimately stalls out, and the probabilities for precipitation remain rather low in general. Otherwise, skies will once again be partly cloudy; lows will run in the upper 60s and highs in the mid-80s with continued comfortable dewpoints.

Friday looks to feature a little bit more in the way of sunshine, though northeasterly winds will keep warmth from running wild as we top out once again in the mid-80s after a nice start to the day with lows just below 70°. Rain chances are once again so low as to be unmentionable, though we’ll want to continue to monitor trends with the front and any waves that might try to form along it.

Overall, though, a solid close to the work week as we emerge from a drencher of a few weeks. Good-looking weather continues into the weekend, too as high pressure continues in place over the area. The only potential fly in the ointment could be a coastal trough that looks to take shape, which may provide a focal point for a few isolated showers in the afternoons, mainly near the coast. We’ll watch trends, but in the meantime, enjoy the tiny sniff of fall — it’s better than what we’ve had, that’s for sure…
