Chilly weekend gives way to warming trend through week

Summarised from 3 outlets · 9 reports · Updated 15 Nov, 07:08 · Archive

A chilly weekend with sunshine will be followed by a warming trend bringing temperatures into the 60s by midweek.

This weekend will bring cold but pleasant conditions to the region. Daytime highs will reach only the mid to upper 40s on Saturday and Sunday, with overnight lows dropping to the mid-20s. High pressure will keep skies clear and sunny throughout the period, and winds will be relatively calm. Residents heading outside after dark should bundle up with coats and hats.

The cold will be short-lived. From early in the next week onwards, a warming trend will take hold. Temperatures will climb steadily through Monday and Tuesday, reaching the mid-50s by midweek. By the end of the week, highs are expected to reach the upper 50s to lower 60s, potentially touching 70 degrees on Friday.

Overnight lows will remain chilly through midweek, lingering in the upper 20s to lower 30s, before moderating as the week progresses. Conditions will stay dry for most of the forecast period, with the next significant chance of rain not arriving until late in the week or the start of next weekend. When rain does arrive, it is expected to be accompanied by increasing cloud cover.

One outlet notes that long-range models suggest temperatures may cool again for the week of Thanksgiving, though forecasters emphasise it is still early for detailed holiday predictions. Until then, the warming trend will dominate the forecast.
