SUMMARY: This weekend promises beautiful weather with temperatures reaching the low 70s, although it starts off chilly at around 40 degrees. Currently, there’s a significant rainfall deficit, with only traces recorded this October, potentially making it the driest on record. High pressure is maintaining these dry, warm conditions, though a cold front may arrive later next week. The tropics are being monitored, particularly a potential tropical cyclone near Mexico and another system north of Puerto Rico. Temperatures will gradually warm into the mid to upper 70s next week, so enjoy the pleasant outdoor weather!

While high pressure is in control, sunshine will be plentiful through the middle of next week. Conditions will also remain very dry.
