Pleasant Halloween

I'm running out of headlines to describe the string of nice weather days we've had this month. Cool start to the morning again with temperatures running in the upper 30s. Deep mixing yesterday prevented us from tapping the warmer temperatures just above the surface and we only topped out at 66. We should mix a little higher today but not enough to support lower 70s for highs. I'll undercut guidance and the NWS and forecast a high near 70 today. If you're headed out for trick-or-treating, temperatures will be around 57 at 7 p.m. but dropping into the upper 40s by 10 p.m.

Tomorrow morning will be another cool one with lows in the upper 30s. The weekend looks pleasant with full sunshine and highs in the 70s. With a poor slate of big college football games this weekend, it might be a great time for outdoor activities. A big trough is poised to slam onshore early next week and will bring a return to active weather. Severe weather is certainly possible to our west, and recent model trends with a more southerly storm track suggest we may deal with some storms at the end of next week.
