Today's Weather Forecast - 10/17/13

Changes are brewing. By this time next week, it will REALLY feel like the depths of autumn, something we've been spoiled not to have really had to this point. Highs a week from now may not make it out of the 50s (upper 40s possible in higher elevations of the Poconos!) Until then, we have one more day of real warmth with temperatures hanging in the upper 60s on Thursday. If the sun can break out, perhaps 70, but latest trends are looking cloudier, much like Wednesday was.

 

A slow moving cold front and low pressure move through overnight Thursday into Friday with periods of light rain. Not looking for a ton of rain, but it'll be enough to moisten the ground and perhaps make driving slick on wet leaves Thursday night.

 

Friday things should quickly clear out with the sun returning. Temperatures mainly in the mid 60s which is cooler but still not too bad for October. 

 

Both days of the weekend are similar with temperatures slowly slipping some more. But we'll REALLY start to feel the difference NEXT week as a series of dry cold fronts pass on through, reinforcing the cooler air and reminding us that old-man winter is just around the corner.
