Monday Morning, October 17
MONDAY: Starting off the morning on the warm side and we’ll only continue to see the thermometer rise to historic levels this afternoon. Highs are expected to reach near the record high of 89 due to mostly sunny skies and winds from the south pumping in warm air. These winds will actually kick up to 20-25 mph during the day and we could see gusts above 30 mph so be sure to secure anything that might blow away.
TONIGHT: Winds will subside slightly through the evening hours, as they remain out of the south under 15 mph. Gusts up to 20 mph are still possible. A low of 70 degrees is expected this evening, with increasing clouds ahead of a cold front that will track through by Tuesday afternoon.
EXTENDED: We begin the fall back to cooler conditions on Tuesday as a cold front begins to move through the area. Temperature highs by the mid week will be in the low 70s with cool conditions overnight in the 40s. Currently it is looking like this cold frontal passage will be a dry one with rain chances limited to areas south of Hwy 50 on Wednesday and Thursday. The rain should move out by Friday and lead to a much cooler weekend. For more weather updates follow ABC 17 Stormtrack on Facebook and Twitter.
