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.

Hurricane Milton is a high-end category 4 storm system as of mid-morning as it closes in on the west-central Gulf coast of Florida. Some weakening is quite likely today as Hurricane Milton encounters increased vertical wind shear over the eastern Gulf of Mexico and some dry air intrusion on its western side. However, Hurricane Milton should make landfall later tonight somewhere near Tampa Bay as a “major” hurricane with a significant storm surge expected as high as 10-15 feet in some areas. After landfall, Milton will cross the state as a hurricane and then emerge later tomorrow out over the open waters of the southwestern Atlantic Ocean.
