Wow. Last week we hit 80 degrees on Friday! That was 17 degrees above normal; it felt like summer. This has been a warm fall, but 80 degrees in November is pretty dramatic! So far we are averaging about 6 degrees above normal for the month of November.

This week we come back to reality. It won’t be super cold, but it will be “chilly.” The coldest day of the week will be Saturday, when temperatures will struggle to get out of the 40s. Yea, the 80s are long gone!

The main chance for rain is Thursday evening with a cold front. We are only talking a few hours of showers here with this event; so expect a dry week overall.

Wednesday is the nicest day of the week. It will be clearing out after the Tuesday rain with increasing sunshine and temperatures in the lower 60s.

On Thursday we stay in the lower 60s but watch a cold front swing through in the evening with some showers.

Friday is a transition day. The coldest air of the week will take some time getting here, so we squeek another day near 60 degrees in, but watch for gusty winds!

Saturday and Sunday are chilly and dry. Expect more sunshine on Saturday than Sunday, but it will almost feel like Winter on Saturday as temperatures struggle to get out of the 40s.

The chilly air eases on Monday as we pop back up near 60 degrees with sunshine to make it feel even warmer.

The weather starts a stormy transition on Tuesday with rain possible at night. We’ll worry about this threat later.

The weather winner of the week is Wednesday; the weather loser is Saturday.
