Well.  30s and rainy last Thursday for the Renaissance Faire trip; 70s and sunny tomorrow.  Last week I was shivering in the Shire, and today the ladybugs were desperately flinging themselves against my window by the hundreds.  Could we have some “average” fall weather (highs in the low 60s and upper 50s; lows in the upper 30s or low 40s, with moderate precipitation)?  The answer is yes, by the weekend.  Here’s a quick update.

Thursday 10/22: pleasant and unseasonably warm with plenty of sunshine.  High 74, low 48.

Friday 10/23: overcast and a bit cooler with showers developing by late afternoon, continuing and becoming heavy at times overnight.                     High 62, low 54.

Saturday 10/24: cloudy and windy with a shower or thunderstorm early, then clearing, remaining breezy, and cooling off.  High 64, low 45.

Sunday 10/25: partly cloudy, seasonably cool and breezy.                           High 57, low 39.

Monday 10/26: partly cloudy and autumnally appropriate.                         High 60, low 41.

Tuesday 10/27: more clouds than sun; a few showers.  High 62, low 48.

Wednesday 10/28 & Thursday 10/29: partly to mostly cloudy and a bit warmer with some showers possible late Thursday.  Highs in the mid to upper 60s; lows in the upper 40s.

Friday 10/30 and Halloween weekend: cloudy, turning colder and perhaps a little rainy on Friday night (high 58, low 36).  Clear and colder on Saturday and Sunday, with highs in the mid to upper 40s, and lows in the low 30s.

The first week of November: More of the same.  Those of us who haven’t yet seen the first frost will see it this week.  As temperatures could dip into the upper 20s at night and there is at least one interesting system moving through, we could see some…no.  I dare not speak its name yet.

P.S. Major weather outlets have released (or are preparing to release) their 2009-2010 winter weather outlooks.  I am preparing such a package of prognostication and will release it by month’s end.
