Discussion
The passage of a warm front will usher in much warmer air for later today and highs will bounce back into the 70’s after a cool end to the weekend. Low pressure pushes this way from the Midwest tonight and a second one will intensify off the coast on Tuesday. This combination will generate rain in the area from late today into Tuesday and some of it will be heavy at times. In addition, there will be the chance for a strong-to-severe thunderstorm from later today into tonight. The coastal low pressure system will meander offshore at mid-week and another then storm could impact our region late in the week. Looking ahead, the overall pattern changes quite dramatically next week - the first week of November - with a quick start to some winter-like cold on the table.
