My most excellent good friends:

It has been many days since I last posted, many of them unpleasantly warm.  Now it is autumn, but the next couple of days are actually going to feel more like early winter.  Not to fear, though - we'll return to normal conditions for this time of year (highs in the mid 60s, lows in the mid 40s) soon enough...

Today will be chilly and breezy with plenty of sunshine and highs in the upper 50s.  I expect freeze warnings to be issued for much of the area for the overnight period.  Temperatures will dip into the low 30s (freezing is 32, for the uninitiated) toward early Saturday morning.  So bring in your mums and pumpkins; while everyone likes a feisty pumpkin, and a pumpkin pie with frosting is divine, a frosty pumpkin can ruin your weekend.

Saturday will be brilliantly sunny and continued rather cool with highs in the upper 50s, but overnight lows getting only into the upper 30s.

Sunday looks gorgeous with highs approaching (and in some places, exceeding) 70 but a nice fall breeze.  Clouds will increase toward evening, but I don't think we'll see any showers until Monday.  Low on Sunday night will be in the low 50s.

Monday morning: chance of a shower or two, but no big deal.  Highs in the mid 70s, lows near 50.

Clouds mixed with sun on Tuesday with seasonable temperatures: highs in the mid 60s, lows in the mid 40s.  The same holds for Wednesday and Thursday as well.

Friday could bring some showers, which may linger into the first part of the weekend.  Speaking of which...

Next weekend looks decent, but fairly cloudy and cool.  Highs just above 60 on Saturday, just below 60 on Sunday.

The following week (beginning with Monday 10/22) is when we're going to see some chilly, raw, and pluvious days.  Highs will struggle to reach 50 most days that week, and there will be rain much of the time...

I see no chance of snow in the next month (and notwithstanding last year's freak October snowstorm, that is as it should be).

Keep it real.  Always.
