Temperatures just before sunrise were in the 50-55 range this morning. (Some places in the Black Hills saw morning lows only in the upper 60s.)
A bubble of warm air is overhead and that will allow the temperature to shoot up into the 70s this morning and then level out in the middle or upper 70s this afternoon as a cold front moves through. That cold front will bring us gusty north winds to 25 mph this afternoon. Clouds will gradually thicken up this afternoon, too.
Tomorrow’s temperatures will be back to normal with readings in the middle 60s, then we’ll be back to the mid 70s on Thursday.
The atmosphere moistens up Friday with an increase in the cloud cover and, by late in the day, an increasing chance of rain. There will be a few showers Friday night into Saturday morning morning and then the clouds will thin out Saturday afternoon.
The sea-surface temperatures of the northeast Pacific Ocean are cooling down and will bring us a dramatic shift in weather towards the end of the month – and set us up for a colder-than-normal November and December.
