A somewhat subjective rating of today’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10.

9/10: Stellar start to the new week with 70s and sunshine.

  • Today: Fairly sunny, windy. Maximum: Close to 75.
  • This evening: Generally clear. Lows: 47 to 56.

Late September is often a beautiful time of year in our region and 2022 will be no different. Until Friday we will have pleasantly sunny days and cool, cool nights. But the weekend forecast isn’t as favorable as Ian’s remnants might turn out, bringing the chance of rain and thunderstorms.

Today (Monday): Today can become the hottest day of the week and also one of the most pleasant. We will have abundant sunshine and highs around 75. There will be some breeze from the west and southwest, sustained around 10 mph with a few gusts over 20 mph. Confidence: High

This evening: We may have a few clouds, but it’s mostly clear and cool. Lows range from the upper 40s in our coolest places to the mid 50s downtown. Light westerly winds. Confidence: High

Tomorrow (Tuesday): It’s like Monday, but just a few degrees cooler. We will have sunshine and highs around 70 with a gentle westerly breeze around 5-10 mph. Confidence: High

Tomorrow evening: In the wake of a weak cool front that passed Tuesday afternoon, it is the coldest night of the fall so far. Under clear skies, lows dip into the 40s in most places except near 50 in downtown. Confidence: High

we have a nice weather Wednesday to Friday with sunshine and highs mainly between 65 and 70; some high clouds may begin to rise on Friday as remnants of Ian potentially infiltrate north. Thursday night temperatures dip into the 40s to near 50s, with milder lows in the 50s Friday night. Confidence: medium-high

The weekend predictions depend on what happens with Ian’s remains. If they pass near us, we will probably have periods of rain and maybe a few gusty squalls. We will offer more details on this potential as they get closer. Highs should be fairly close to 70 with lows closer to 60. Confidence: low to medium
