Discussion

High pressure stays in control through the end of the week and temperatures late tonight will drop to the lowest levels of the season so far in the Mid-Atlantic region. Overnight low temperatures near 40 degrees are likely in some suburban locations and there can be some patchy frost for the first time in outlying areas. It turns warmer for the first half of the weekend and continued dry and then another cold frontal passage will usher in the coldest air mass so far this season for the first half of next week. One final note, Hurricane Milton came ashore last evening as a category 3 storm near the Siesta Key/Sarasota region of Florida’s Gulf coast and is now exiting off the east coast.
