Rest of the work week: One more front, then much more sun

/ October 28, 2025 at 7:29 PM

After the coolest day since late February — the high at the airport only peaked around 57° — we’ll turn warmer on Wednesday as an approaching cold front scours out the wedge of high pressure that brought us a dreary, drizzly Tuesday. We’ll start Hump Day around 50° under mostly cloudy skies once again. A warm front lifting northward will push through the area later in the afternoon, and it’s that warm front along with some breaks in the cloud cover which will help us warm to the mid-to-upper 60s later in the day. Shower chances will return in the evening through the overnight as a band of rain ahead of the cold front moves by.

Showers should depart by the time most of us get Thursday underway. We’ll start in the upper 40s to around 50° once again, warming to the mid-60s in the afternoon with much more in the way of sunshine than we’ve seen so far this week. Clearer skies overnight Thursday will allow Halloween to start a little cooler, generally in the mid-40s in the metro (with lower temperatures possible further inland as well as in some more rural areas). Unfettered sunshine will send temperatures in the mid-to-upper 60s in the afternoon. Trick-or-treaters and their accompanying guardians (where applicable) should expect temperatures to fall into the 50s around and after sunset.

Tuesday: Overcast and a few showers persist

/ October 27, 2025 at 11:16 PM

More overcast is in store for Tuesday despite low pressure departing the area. The overcast combined with gusty northerly winds and a few lingering showers will keep us on the cool side in the afternoon, with highs only peaking in the low 60s after a start to the day in the mid-50s. Showers should taper off by evening, with a rain-free period expected until Wednesday afternoon.

Weekend forecast: Generally nice, but changes are on the way

/ October 24, 2025 at 7:01 PM

Generally speaking, we can expect good weather this weekend (especially on Saturday) with a wedge of high pressure building southward through the Carolinas into Georgia. This will lead to breezier conditions for the weekend as northeasterly winds kick up, and temperatures will run a couple clicks lower with cooler air moving in at the surface. Moisture will also start to overrun the wedge, and that will bring a gradual increase in dewpoints and cloud cover as low pressure develops in the Gulf. This low pressure system may bring us some showers later Sunday, and look to make for a soggy Monday.

Saturday’s lows will once again begin in the upper 40s (with some mid-40s inland), warming to the low 70s in the afternoon under partly cloudy skies. Cloud cover will continue to thicken on Sunday as moisture return continues; this will lead to a warmer start in the mid-50s before highs peak around 70-71° once again under mostly cloudy skies. Showers and maybe even some rumbles of thunder will be possible beginning Sunday evening, so keep that in mind as you make your weekend plans.

Friday & the weekend: Seasonable conditions continue

/ October 23, 2025 at 6:46 PM

Expect generally quiet weather and seasonably cool temperatures to continue for Friday and the weekend. Dry high pressure remains in control for Friday with temperatures cooling to the upper 40s by morning, warming to the low-to-mid-70s in the afternoon with just a few clouds. High pressure then begins to wedge into the area over the weekend, bringing with it slightly cooler temperatures for Saturday. Moisture return ahead of the next storm system starts to kick in on Sunday, with dewpoints rising throughout the day contributing to a bit more in the way of cloud cover ahead of what looks to be an unsettled first half of the work week next week as low pressure heads up the coast.

/ October 5, 2025 at 11:50 PM

Warm temperatures will continue for the first half of the week before a cold front knocks temperatures down below normal starting Thursday. Shower chances will be with us for much of the week, though, and we’ll be dealing with coastal flooding as well.

Thursday: A pleasant, fall-like day

/ October 1, 2025 at 10:49 PM

Thursday will give us a really nice taste of fall as cool high pressure wedges southward into the area. We’ll start the day with temperatures around 60°, warming to just the mid-70s under partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies. The northeasterly breeze will still be somewhat elevated, which may contribute to some minor tidal flooding around the 4:45 PM high tide. Otherwise, it’ll be an enjoyable day to get outside and touch some grass.
