Cooler today, screaming hot on Halloween

Warm air arriving from the Central US will bring us a pleasant weekend, with today featuring plenty of sunshine. We could see high temperatures into the mid - upper 60s for the middle of the week before they drop to seasonable conditions by next weekend.

Enjoy the cooler temperatures, because all that changes on Halloween.

The quiet, dry weather pattern will continue through the beginning of the work week with afternoon highs running close to 20 degrees above average, meaning more record highs.

Monday another strong low pressure area will eject across the northern Plains with our winds increasing speeds from 20 to 30 miles per hour in response to the falling pressures.

I expect pretty much the same through at least Wednesday.

Inland, Halloween was expected to be partly cloudy and breezy during the day, with temperatures falling to lows of 49 to 57 degrees Monday night.

Yesterday we started out in the mid-40s and warmed up into the lower 70s. Our next rain chance returns Wednesday through Thursday. South winds will be "howling" and temperatures will make you scream. Temperatures will soar into the upper 70s both days. Tuesday night will be partly cloudy with lows in the mid-60s. Partly to mostly sunny skies may turn a bit cloudier by mid-to-late afternoon, but highs should reach near 80 to the low 80s regardless. High: 60 Thursday. Showers.
