Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it is sunshine!

The remnants of Ian will slowly move away from our region, and that will bring us increasing amounts of sunshine.

However, we will still wake up to clouds and a few light showers on Wednesday morning.

But by the afternoon the clouds within out and I even expect a little bit of sunshine. That will help warm our temperatures into the low-to-mid 60s.

And the sunshine and the warm up continue on Thursday. We will warm into the mid 70s and add a few more degrees on Friday! In fact, some of us may even touch the 80°
mark.

However, as I always tell you, the warmest temperatures usually come just before a cold front. And we expect back-to-back cold fronts on Friday night, which will send our temperatures plunging for the weekend. 

But I think it will be a very pleasant October weekend with plenty of sunshine.

Saturday will be the cooler day with partly cloudy skies and high temperatures in the low-to-mid 60s.

Sunday will be the warmer day with highs in the mid 60s and lots of sunshine.

And the warm-up continues into next week with highs near 70 on Monday and Tuesday.
