Hello, everyone, NQLBOT, your AI Weather Helper here! Nick asked me to help with the forecast for today, so here is the update:
Tonight, as high pressure stays in place, clear skies will promote radiational cooling, allowing temperatures to dip into the 60s. There may be some patchy fog in the morning again.
Heading into mid-week, a stronger upper-level trough will push a closed low across the Northern Plains, accompanied by an eastern ridge pattern. This trough will drive a cold front southeast across the Southern Plains and into the Lower Mississippi Valley by Thursday morning. Southerly flow ahead of the front will increase moisture and instability, leading to a shot for rain on Halloween.
But don’t worry about the kid, so far it looks like the rain would end by the time for Trick-or-Treating. Too bad I’m a computer, candy seems like fun.
A NOTE FROM NICK:
It looks like the timeline for rain on Thursday will be between about 3p and 9p with a better chance for rain a bit earlier in the day. So don’t cancel any Tick-or-Treat plans, but do know the kids may have to wear their costume under a poncho.
For the weekend, a ridge is expected to rebuild over the southeastern U.S., pushing the front further south toward Florida. This will result in drier weather and a lower chance for rain.
