The National Weather Service is forecasting a wet and stormy morning, with showers and possible thunderstorms expected before 9 a.m. There’s an 80% chance of rain. A short break in the rain may occur between 9 and 10 a.m.
By the afternoon, winds are expected to shift from the south to the north, with gusts reaching up to 24 mph—helping to clear out the morning rain. Temperatures will rise to around 73 degrees, offering a comfortable break after the stormy start. Tonight’s forecast calls for mostly clear skies and cooler conditions, with lows dipping to around 49 degrees, as detailed by the NWS.
Looking ahead, the weather seems to be taking a turn for the better, with sun dominating the skyline for the tail end of the workweek. Thursday and Friday are both expected to be sunny with highs at 64 and 66 degrees, respectively, per the National Weather Service's forecast. The pleasant weather should offer a welcome break from today's tumult and a smooth segue into the weekend.
The weekend forecast teeters on the edge of certainty, with "partly sunny" skies on Saturday and a 30% chance of showers unwelcomely creeping into the picture late Saturday night. This tentative dance with precipitation lingers through Sunday night, servicing those plans you had for a dry Columbus Day with a bit of meteorological uncertainty. The highs maintain a trend in the low 70s and upper 60s.
As Columbus Day itself unfolds, things look a tad brighter, literally. Expect a mostly sunny day with a high around 65. And while Monday night will see some clouds, Tuesday charts a return to mostly sunny skies and a high near 69, wrapping up the extended forecast on a high note.
