SUMMARY: Meteorologist Grant Skinner reports a chilly Saturday morning forecast with temperatures starting at 34-52°F across various locations. High pressure keeps conditions dry but leads to frost and freeze alerts until 8 a.m. Today will see temperatures gradually warm into the 60s by afternoon, but they remain below average. A shift to southerly winds tomorrow will bring warmer temperatures in the 70s, persisting into midweek. Rain chances return by Thanksgiving due to a passing front, with temperatures dropping back to 60°F by Friday. Overall, expect a mix of chilly mornings and warmer afternoons as the week progresses.

It is a very chilly start to this Saturday morning with most places in the 30’s and 40’s. As northerly winds continue into this afternoon, highs will stay cool in the 60’s. Dry conditions will stay in place throughout the weekend. We will see winds shift to out of the south by Sunday afternoon, so warmer air will push into the region. Highs will push into the low-70’s. Rip current risk will remain low through the start of the next work week. We will be even warmer for Monday ahead of our next front. We will see that front pass through our area on Tuesday bringing the chance for a few showers. It will likely stall near the area and then lift north on Wednesday before finally pushing south and out of the area on Thursday. Thursday will also bring our best chance for showers, but they will stay scattered.
