There’s not much rain in the forecast, and that’s not good for the worsening drought.

Unseasonably warm weather continues across the region into Friday ahead of a strong cold front. We’ll see clouds start to move in tonight as the cold front gets closer, but it doesn’t have a lot of moisture to work with, so we’re only expecting a few widely scattered showers when the front moves through late Friday morning. We’ll quickly clear out behind the front in the afternoon, but the cooler air lags a bit behind the front, so we’ll have another warm day, with temperatures likely topping 70 in many areas once again. High pressure then builds in for the weekend with much cooler weather, with temperatures a little below normal for early November. Clouds will start to move back in Sunday night and Monday as another warm front heads our way. We’ll likely stay on the cool side during the day, with any showers likely holding off until evening or more likely overnight, but again, we’re not expecting drought-busting rain, just some widely scattered showers.

Don’t forget – Daylight Saving Time ends at 2am Sunday, so you’ll get an extra hour of sleep when we turn the clocks back one hour.
