Discussion

Strong high pressure centered over the Midwest will stay in control of our weather during the next few days with a chilly air mass in place. Temperatures for the next few days will be remain below-normal for the middle of October and there can be frost in the overnight hours in some suburban locations with lows down in the 30’s. It turns a bit milder at the end of the week and the weekend is looking quite comfortable with sunshine expected on both days. One other note, a comet will remain visible in the low western sky during each of the next few evenings assuming favorable sky conditions and a “dark enough” environment...look to the west about 45 minutes after sunset.
