Crisp Start Before the 80s Return Mid‑Week

Tuesday morning felt oddly autumnal for a summer that’s barely over – temperatures dropped into the 50s, the coolest reading we’ve seen since June 3. The air was crisp, a little bite to it, and even the usual hum of traffic seemed slower.

Come Wednesday, the chill eases but doesn’t disappear entirely. Expect a fresh start, then a rapid climb toward the mid‑ to upper‑80s – almost a full 10 °F warmer than Tuesday’s high. The sun will be out in earnest, and a southerly breeze will usher in that extra warmth, making it feel more like late summer than early fall.

By Thursday and Friday, humidity will creep back in, bringing a chance of scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms. Thursday’s rain will be limited, sitting ahead of an incoming cold front that slides southward across the region. As the front pushes through, Friday’s first half will likely stay damp, though a quicker exit could leave the latter part of the day drier.

Saturday should be a welcome reprieve – dry, with highs back to a comfortable low‑80 range. Sunday nudges a touch warmer again, but another round of storm chances arrives as a system moves in from the west, keeping things a bit unsettled.

The pattern carries into the start of the next work week. Monday’s highs will hover in the lower 80s, while Tuesday, which coincides with the Fall Equinox, will see temperatures dip back into the upper 70s. So, while the week begins with a crisp, almost‑autumn feel, it quickly swings back to classic summer warmth before tapering off toward the more typical fall temperatures.
