Friday Morning Northland Forecast: 9/27/2024

A Sunny and Hot Friday

We may be off by a week. I was under the impression the Autumnal Equinox took place last Sunday, like 5 days ago. Yet, this week has clearly still been summer, with sunshine and highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s all week. In fact, we hit a record high temp of 81 degrees yesterday. And, today we are looking at a high of 82, and the record high for today is 83. So, is it really still summer? The obvious answer is no. We are definitely in autumn. But, we are just getting a few bonus days of sunshine and warm temps. It won’t last forever. In fact, it will only last 2 more days. And, it sure beats having Hurricane Helene hit your state. So, I will just choose to enjoy a little extended summer.

High pressure has kept us with blue skies all week. While that will continue for us for the forseeable future, we are going to cool down, starting Sunday. A cool front passing over us will drop our high temps into the 70s on Sunday, and down into the 60s by Tuesday. A reinforcing cold front will drop us all the way down to 39 degrees by Wednesday morning. Now, that’s more like it! The average high and low for today is 62 and 43. And, by late next week, we’ll be there. After that, we just need to get some moisture around here!

So, whatever season this is, get outside as much as you can. People in Florida would be thrilled to have the weather we are enjoying today!
