Pleasant Days and Chilly Nights

Plenty of sunshine can be expected this weekend with daytime highs in the low to mid 70s and nighttime lows dropping well down into the 40s. Breezes will be lighter than they have been, adding to the pleasant feel during the afternoons. It will be a little warmer on Monday before a cold front arrives Tuesday, bringing the coolest air of the fall season our way by Wednesday.

Tropics:

The National Hurricane Center has issued its last advisory on Hurricane Noel, although the system remains an intense winter-type low pressure area as it moves north-northeast, parallelling the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coastline. When a system transitions from tropical to non-tropical, the wind field spreads out more to the west of the storm center. Therefore, coastal locations of the northeast are in for a very windy Saturday. The storm should move into the Canadian Maritimes with hurricane force winds Saturday night.
