Tuesday could be quite a shock to the system after Monday’s record warmth. We’ll go from a high of 90° on Monday, which was not only a daily record high but the fourth earliest 90° day on record, to a high in the low 60s on Tuesday with mostly cloudy skies in the wake of a cold front that is entering the Tri-County area as of this writing. No rain is expected, but we can expect breezy northeasterly winds as a cold air damming regime takes hold, at least briefly.

Rest of the work week: Temperatures climb again

After Tuesday’s significant cooldown, we’ll begin to warm back up on Wednesday as the wedge of high pressure slowly breaks down. A stray shower or two will be possible Wednesday morning; otherwise, expect lows in the mid-40s to warm to around 70° in the afternoon with a bit more sunshine than we expect to see Tuesday. The warming trend ramps up on Thursday, with highs around 80° expected under mostly sunny skies, while Friday will run even warmer with highs peaking in the mid-80s.

Bridge Run forecast: Turning cooler again

Another front will swing through early Saturday, which will keep temperatures in check for the Bridge Run. Expect a generally cool run this go-around, with temperatures in the mid-to-upper 50s expected at start time, warming to the low-to-mid-60s by noon or so with plenty of cloud cover. There’s an outside shot that precipitation could be a factor with the nearby front, but so far probabilities appear quite low. Stay tuned for updates this week!
