A light southerly breeze has kept temperatures trending warmer and higher dewpoints. Temperatures are mostly mild, and we expect to see some daytime clouds today. There will be a chance to see some patchy showers and thunderstorms later this afternoon and evening. A cold front will arrive by Halloween where a line of t-storms will develop. Strong thunderstorms will be possible with gusty winds being the main threat. An isolated embedded tornado cannot be ruled out. These storms will exit by Halloween night. Rain looks to linger in the forecast for Friday and for next week. Temperatures still look to stay above average in the lower 80’s.
