Cold air damming will be the main weather driver this weekend as high pressure wedging in from the north will keep us chilly and mostly cloudy.

Saturday will be the more rain-free of the two weekend days as a little drier air aloft punches in between upper-level disturbances. Lingering showers shut off around daybreak, and we could see some breaks in the cloud cover from time to time, but overall, mostly cloudy skies will be the rule as temperatures struggle into the upper 50s.

Expect similar conditions for Sunday as the wedge continues to hang on. Rain chances return by Sunday afternoon/early evening as the next disturbance moves atop the area. Temperatures will once again struggle to the upper 50s with the wedge in place, so the fleece-lined rain gear might feel pretty good.

Naturally, the weather will begin to improve on Monday…c’est la vie. But for now, it’s a good weekend to enjoy some good soup and maybe catch up on some TV or reading.

Expect generally quiet weather this weekend despite a cold front sinking southward halfway through. Saturday will start much warmer than Friday did, with lows in the mid-50s as opposed to the upper 30s. Watch out for some patches of fog to develop in the morning potentially having brief impacts on visibility. Any fog that develops will scour out shortly after sunrise, yielding partly cloudy skies for the balance of the day. Highs will top out in the mid-70s, generally about 5° warmer than Friday despite some additional cloud cover. There’s an outside shot of a few sprinkles later in the day on Saturday as the front gets closer, but the vast majority of us should remain rain-free with measurable rainfall not expected.

The aforementioned frontal zone passes through the area overnight Saturday and stalls out to our south. We’ll see an uptick in cloud cover (though some sun should still break through) with highs likely struggling a bit to the mid-60s at best. (This evening’s guidance suggests even cooler high temperatures are possible, so stay tuned for revisions.) We should remain generally rain-free, though I wouldn’t be shocked to see sprinkles get introduced into the forecast if some of the colder solutions with a stronger high pressure wedge verify.

All in all, though, it won’t be too bad of a weekend. Warm weather fans will enjoy Saturday, while the sweater-inclined amongst us will likely prefer Sunday. So it goes in December as the seasons continue their tug-of-war.

We get a good break from the gray skies on Saturday as we find ourselves between storm systems. The lull will bring us a nice, seasonable day, with lows in the mid-40s followed by highs in the mid-to-upper 60s, right in the ballpark for where we should be at this point in the year. The only fly in the ointment will be the risk for minor to moderate salt water flooding around the 9:29am high tide.

Clouds build back up Saturday evening as the next storm system makes its approach to give us another round of rain for Sunday. A warm front will lift north across the area throughout the day, allowing temperatures to top out in the mid-70s despite showers and maybe a thunderstorm or two in the area. The best chance for rain will be in the morning through the early afternoon hours. Expect the front to get through by evening, which will shut off the rain and dry out the air. Winds will be a little breezy with sustained winds approaching 20 MPH with higher gusts.

Sunday will mark the end of this king tide cycle, with minor flooding possible with the 10:28am high tide. A few downpours will be possible with the storm system moving by on Sunday, and we’ll want to watch for any to coincide with the mid-morning high tide.

Improving weather returns to start the new work week; the next shower chance will be mid-week, followed by seasonable temperatures to start December.

We have another chilly night in store across the metro area, as another round of frosty conditions may be possible tomorrow morning with temperatures reaching freezing in a few more sheltered and rural areas. Once again, bring pets and plants in to keep them safe from the cold.

We’ll see increasing cloud cover on Saturday as high and mid-level clouds filter into the area, but we should remain rain-free as temperatures struggle to 60° in the afternoon (we reached 59° on Friday with full sunshine, FWIW). A front will get by Saturday night into early Sunday; while we’ll start Sunday in the mid-40s — roughly 11° higher than forecast for Saturday morning — highs will once again struggle back to the mid-50s with cloud cover and cool advection ongoing.

Aside from maybe a sprinkle or two Saturday evening, the weekend looks rain-free. We keep this rain-free weather going until late Tuesday into early Wednesday, with a slight shower chance on Thanksgiving. Temperatures next week will warm back into the low-to-mid-60s, still a few clicks below normal for this point in the year.

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!

The weekend forecast will generally run on the cool side, particularly on Saturday, with a few showers possible at times. High pressure remains wedged into the area, and moisture trapped beneath the wedge inversion aloft will keep cloud cover and a few light showers in the forecast. Much like Friday, highs will likely not exceed 70° with the lack of insolation and cool northeasterly winds continuing to reinforce the wedge.

We should see a little bit more sunshine — and a little more warmth as a result — on Sunday as the wedge begins to erode. Still, a few showers will be possible at times, and one should not 100% trust the wedge to erode when it is supposed to.

Overall, you’ll want to have a hoodie or light jacket both days, and be ready to evade a few light showers, but it won’t be enough to cause major problems.

Really not much to write home about weather-wise this weekend: Seasonable weather is in store for the weekend with passing clouds from time to time. Saturday gets us off to a cool start with lows bottoming out in the mid-40s before highs recover to the mid-70s with passing clouds. Sunday gets off to a slightly warmer start in the mid-50s as highs warm back into the mid-70s in the afternoon with a little more sunshine. All in all, no concerns — get out and enjoy!

There’s not much else to say about this forecast than to try to get outside this weekend, because it looks absolutely stellar. Saturday’s low around 50° will be very worthy of longer sleeves to start, but you’ll be able to jettison those by midday as highs head to around 80° in the afternoon. We’ll run a click warmer on Sunday as winds go a little more southwesterly, but it’ll otherwise be very close to what we’ll experience on Saturday. I hope you enjoy!

We have a calm and comfortably warm weekend of weather ahead, which will help aid recovery efforts after the lashing Ian gave our area on Friday. We’ll have very seasonally appropriate starts to each day, with lows in the mid-50s on Saturday and lows in the upper 50s on Sunday, followed by highs getting into the upper 70s in the afternoon. Dewpoints will be comfortable, generally running in the upper 50s to low 60s.

There’s been some concerns about lingering tidal effects from Ian today, but offshore flow will keep us well out of jeopardy of broaching any coastal flood thresholds over the next several days. The only lingering effect will be a moderate risk of rip currents through the weekend, so be aware of this if you’re thinking of getting into the Atlantic waters.

Overall, aside from a slight chance of a shower on Monday, we have several days to dry out to start October. This will be quite beneficial — recovering from a storm can be difficult, especially if you have sustained damage, and the last thing you want is more bad weather on top.

High pressure will dominate the pattern this weekend, bringing us excellent weather for outdoor activities.

Saturday will start out as cool as it’s been since mid-May, with lows expected to bottom out in the mid-50s away from the locally warmer coast. Cloud-free skies should persist for much of the day as temperatures head to the low 80s in the afternoon. Winds will be down compared to what we saw Friday, too, which should make it a little easier to enjoy a meal outdoors with a lower risk of unintentional napkin aviation.

High pressure will begin to slip offshore Saturday night into Sunday, and this will make Sunday’s start feel about 5-10° warmer on average across the area with lows bottoming out around the mid-60s. Mostly sunny skies will persist, though, and highs will generally top out in the mid-80s. It’ll be a touch more humid, but certainly not anything tremendously uncomfortable.

The only hazard we’ll need to really be concerned with this weekend is a lingering high risk for rip currents thanks to continued swell from Hurricane Fiona. Inexperienced swimmers should continue to avoid the Atlantic waters this weekend as a result.
