FORECAST IN DETAIL

In a November set to finish as one of the warmest on record, it’s probably no surprise that today’s another one to leave the bulky jacket at home. A cold front is on the way to try to deliver air that’s closer to normal this time of year, at least. The front won’t get far once passing the area though, so this forecast is generally dominated by its impacts.

Today (Saturday): Skies may be a bit murky throughout the day, but with the cold front still off to the north and west we should eke out another warm one. At least some sunny breaks seem likely with highs rising mainly into a 63-69 range. There could be a very light passing shower at some point, but the bulk of any rain wants to hold off till tonight. Winds are from the southwest around 5-10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High

Tonight: Skies are cloudy. There’s a 50% chance of showers pretty much throughout the night. Any early stuff may tend to be very light and scattered, with another round focused after midnight the potentially more widespread variety. Lows reach the mid-40s to near 50. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow (Sunday): This front is a slow mover, so we may spend much or all of Sunday in a cloudy regime with perhaps a few showers at times. Highs should head mostly for the near 50 to mid-50s zone. Winds are from the north around 5-10 mph. Maybe some more noticeable cloud breaks around sunset. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow night: The front never gets super far away, so we’re still rather cloudy. It should be less cloudy than Saturday and Sunday though. And with drier air continuing to filter in, temperatures are able to dip into the 30s most spots. A range from near freezing in the coldest suburbs to near 40 downtown seems about right. Confidence: Medium
