Last week we spent much of our time in the 60s as a seemingly endless storm brought clouds and rain for days. The cooler temperatures brought us our first taste of fall, but we managed to scrape out a couple nice days to close out the seven-day period. This week‘s weather has a bit of uncertainty to it.

  On the one hand, I know we will get four absolutely beautiful days that will feature temperatures in the 70s or 60s with plenty of sunshine. On the other hand, the exact track and impacts of Hurricane Matthew are uncertain and likely to change. Right now, the hurricane is set to temporarily graze or make landfall in Florida, then ride up the coast to North Carolina at which point it will turn out to sea and maybe throw a little rain our way in conjunction with a cold front approaching from the west. But you know how these things work — storms do whatever the heck they want and this one will be no different! If it does come further north we could have a 12-18 hour period of heavy rain, high winds and coastal flooding. This is unlikely, but you never say “never” when forecasting a Hurricane.   

  Wednesday is a nice day with temperatures getting to about 70 and lows in the 50s. The cool crisp nights this week remind us fall is here.

  Thursday and Friday are both beautiful days. Warmer air will make its way into the region. Some places will even get close to 80 on Friday.

  Any rain from the cold front and or Hurricane Matthew would arrive late in the day on Saturday. Bank on a shower from the front at least so keep the rain gear handy this day.

  Sunday is a cooler and breezy day that could also feature rain from the Hurricane in the morning. Either way, the evening looks clear and cool. Some places in the suburbs could get in the 30s.

  Monday and Tuesday are picture perfect early Fall days. Temperatures are in the 60s by day and 40s by night. It’s officially light jacket season.

   The weather winner of the week is Friday; the weather loser is Sunday.
