We’re kicking off Thanksgiving Week on the warm side! Expect mostly sunny skies today with highs in the upper 70s to a few low 80s. Clouds will gradually increase throughout the day with light winds. As a weak cold front moves in overnight, we could see a few showers late Monday into Tuesday morning. Overnight lows only drop to the 60s. Once the weak cold front moves through, our high temperatures for Tuesday will be in the low 70s, so a slight decrease is expected compared to Monday. The rest of our Tuesday will be partly cloudy with light winds. Humidity will gradually rise. Wednesday will be muggier, partly cloudy, and highs will return to the upper 70s. There will be rain on Thanksgiving. As of now, it looks like the rain may arrive later in the morning, but more so for the afternoon and evening. It does not look like a washout. A front will push through. As it does, it will bring rain, wind, and cooler weather. Highs for Thursday will be in the mid 70s, but the temperature will drop during the day. After the front passes, highs Friday will only be in the upper 50s to low 60s. Those below average temperatures will stick around going into the weekend.
