More October Goodness

High pressure is dominant over the eastern part of the United States. It will provide fantastic weather today through Sunday. There will be additional high clouds entering the picture for the weekend, although we think thicker clouds hold off until Sunday night.

The increase in cloudiness will be preceding an active cold front that will be approaching from the west early next week. The Gulf of Mexico appears poised to provide abundant moisture in advance of the front, and we expect rain to increase on Monday, with the heaviest rainfall coming late Monday into very early Tuesday morning.

After the front swings through Tuesday, partial clearing should commence after early rain diminishes. Noticeably cooler weather will follow in behind the front, delivering the coolest temperatures thus far this fall for the Wednesday-Thursday timeframe. A leftover shower on Wednesday could fall as snowflakes across the higher elevations, the first of the season for the mountaintops. It will turn generally clear by Thursday.
