NAM model's forecast low temperatures tonight

In a weekend characterized by fall-like weather throughout the area, the trend will continue as we close it  out. This evening is expected to be another pleasant one, with partly cloudy skies accompanied by cool and crisp conditions. A storm system off to our east continues to shift away from the area, and it will bring the clouds (which interfered with the area's weather on both Friday and Saturday) with it. Through tonight, high pressure is expected to build back in and take control of the area's weather once again. This high pressure is forecast to dominate the forecast through Monday and the first half of Tuesday. Tonight's low temperatures look to be heading to very cool numbers once again, with the city and metro area dropping into the 50's and the interior/suburban areas and higher elevations falling into the 40's. We hope you had a great weekend, and hope you are able to enjoy the pleasant weather over the next several hours as we try and hold on to the last few hours of Sunday.

Through Tonight: Mostly sunny through the remainder of the afternoon and evening. Temperatures in the 60's with light northeast winds. Then, mostly clear through the evening with temperatures dropping into the low 50's in the city. Cooler inland, with temperatures in the mid 40's.

Monday: Mostly sunny and a bit warmer than the past few days--overall a beautiful day. High temperatures will approach the upper 60's to near 70. Winds will be relatively light.


The work week looks to follow the trend of the past several days, with some fair days and some unsettled days. High pressure will be in control on Monday and the first half of Tuesday, bringing fair weather. In fact, it could return towards normal levels on both of those days with high temperatures climbing into the lower 70's and mid 70's respectively. By Tuesday afternoon, showers and thunderstorms are possible ahead of a warm front. The forecast may remain unsettled, with a chance of showers, through the middle of the week.
