A gorgeous week ahead!!!!

Good morning! Hope everyone had a great weekend, as the weather turned out great! This first weekend of October offered the first frost of the season! Despite the cool start yesterday, we were able to warm back in the upper 60s! And the warm-up begins today!

Today will be fantastic around here, with wall-to-wall sunshine! A warmer air mass will begin to kick in, with highs in the lower 70s!

Another clear, cool fall night tonight, but not as cool. Lows will dip in the 40s.

The rest of the week will be GORGEOUS!! 100% sunshine expected each day, with highs in the middle-upper 70s tomorrow, then 80s Wednesday & beyond! This same pattern may stick around for the next 10-12 days or so! Reason behind this gorgeous stretch? Ridge of high pressure!! The pattern remains really slow-moving, blocky around here, so the ridge will be staying right over us for quite some time! Here is a better look at the overall pattern across the nation:

Notice the Big "H" right on top of us, and the trough along the east, with another trough out west. That ridge will have no where to go, so it will sit right on top of us for the next 10 days or so, bringing that stretch of sunny, warmer weather!

This pattern couldn't of come at a better time, as the fall colors are beginning to show up. This will make for perfect weather for camping, sightseeing, or any outdoor plans!

Thanks for checking, have a great Monday!
