Lower 80s on Tuesday will give way to mid-80s on Wednesday, before upper 80s to around 90 degrees make a comeback to end the week on Thursday and Friday. If we manage 90 degrees on either day, it would be the first time seeing 90s in October since 2019.
The weekend turns more unsettled as a cold front approaches the area on Saturday and stalls across the region. Showers and storms are possible both days of the weekend, with Sunday looking like the wetter of the two days. Both afternoons will feature upper 70s and lower 80s.
After some leftover rain possible Monday, we’ll dry out again just in time for the new work week and first full week of October with sunshine and 70s expected. We may also see a day with highs in the 60s next Tuesday.

In the tropics, Hanna is still a tropical storm in the North Atlantic and is not expected to become a hurricane or impact the United States. Fay dissipated again and is no longer a tropical system.
Even with October starting on Thursday, we’ve yet to see our first hurricane of the season, which ends Nov. 30.
