Scattered rain Thursday before strong cold front Friday

Summarised from 2 outlets · 7 reports · Updated 15 Oct, 22:32 · Archive

Scattered rain is expected Thursday, with a strong cold front bringing gusty showers and much colder air on Friday.

Lingering rain showers and a few storms are expected on Thursday across the region, though the intensity will be lower than what many locations experienced late Wednesday. Friday will bring the main weather change as a strong cold front sweeps through the area.

Ahead of the cold front, Friday will start very warm and mainly dry, with temperatures in the low-to-mid 70s and sunny conditions until around 4 pm. As the front moves in, gusty rain showers will develop and continue off and on through the evening, accompanied by strengthening winds gusting over 20 mph. Temperatures will fall dramatically through the day, dropping from the 70s to the upper 50s by sunset and into the low 50s by 9 pm.

Saturday will be the coolest day of the season so far, with highs struggling to reach the low-to-mid 50s. Wind chill values will drop around freezing Saturday morning. Those attending high school football games Friday should prepare for rain, breezy winds, and temperatures falling into the mid-to-low 50s.

A significant chill arrives Sunday morning, with frost increasingly likely and lows plummeting into the mid-30s across most of the area.
