Weekend forecast: Mother Nature turns on the AC

/ November 11, 2022 at 7:55 PM

It’s a tale of two air masses this weekend: The warm, still somewhat humid Saturday giving way to the winter-like, much cooler and drier day on Sunday. Nicole’s legacy will hang around one more day in the form of the somewhat modified tropical airmass; while dewpoints will be lower than they have been the past couple days, mid-60s dews are still pretty moist for this time of the year. We’ll see a mix of sun and clouds ahead of a cold front — oh, the cold front — that will pass by rain-free on Saturday night.

Sunday’s going to be a completely different animal as cold Canadian air rushes into the area. Lows will bottom out in the mid-50s on Sunday, but despite nearly full sunshine, the cold air advecting in will keep highs only in the low 60s. Sunday night into Monday will be a much different story, with lows potentially dipping into the upper 30s in spots — will need to keep an eye out on frost potential for Monday morning.

Next rain chance arrives with a reinforcing shot of cold air on Tuesday into Wednesday; we’ll close next week unable to get temperatures above 60°, it looks like. Bottom line: Sweater weather fans, time to shine!
