Dayton woke Friday, November 6, under cloudy skies around 52 degrees, but the mild start will not last long. Temperatures are expected to top out near 57 under mostly cloudy skies before falling to about 36 overnight.
Afternoon Sun, Then A Frosty Night
Northwest winds will be 10 to 15 knots (about 11.5 to 17 mph), with gusts to 20 knots, this afternoon as clouds break up. The National Weather Service forecast package includes a Frost Advisory from midnight Friday through 9 a.m. Saturday across parts of the region.
Friday night should have VFR conditions, with temperatures falling overnight. Anyone with exposed plants or outdoor items that are sensitive to cold may want to take care of them before bedtime.
Saturday Starts Cold, Sunday Gets Brighter
Saturday morning could bring patchy frost between 7 and 8 a.m., followed by a high near 55. The weekend's coldest stretch arrives Saturday night, with temperatures in the lower 30s and possibly the upper 20s.
Sunday offers the better outdoor window, although frost may be possible early Sunday. Sunshine will then take over, pushing the high near 58 after Thursday's warmer weather and Friday's sharp cooldown.
Sunny Stretch Builds Next Week
Dry, warmer weather returns Monday, with sunshine and a high near 63, followed by Tuesday with a high near 65. Veterans Day on Wednesday should remain sunny and mild, with a high around 62.
A slight chance of light rain returns Wednesday night and early Thursday before skies turn mostly sunny again. Thursday's high is expected to reach about 57, keeping the week ahead generally dry but noticeably cooler than the early-week peak, as Hoodline previously reported.
