Summer breeze on the way for the weekend – Chris

Good Tuesday evening!

We’re enjoying another quiet and comfortable stretch of October weather, but attention is starting to turn toward a very warm and windy weekend.

Tonight stays partly cloudy and seasonably mild, with lows falling into the low 50s.

Wednesday looks beautiful, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the low 70s. Thursday stays seasonable and sunny, with highs in the upper 60s, while Friday warms back into the low 70s.

WEEKEND: This is where things get more interesting.

Saturday will be mostly sunny, windy, and unusually hot for October. Highs could reach the low to middle 80s, with wind gusts potentially exceeding 50 mph at times.

That wind could have a noticeable impact on outdoor plans. If you’re heading to a pumpkin patch, apple orchard, fall festival, football game, or spending time outside, expect a very windy day. Secure lightweight outdoor items, tents, decoration...
