Your Weather Planner
We’re experiencing the coolest air so far since March, and temperatures more typical of mid-January. Grab a sweatshirt or a jacket Friday morning as we wake up with lows in the upper 40s and lower 50s. Under a sun-filled sky, highs remain around 10 degrees below average in the lower 70s. Layered costumes will be great for the trick-or-treaters as we slide through the 60s during the evening.
Another chilly start to the day on Saturday, but with a sunny sky highs climb a little more into the lower 70s. We close in on seasonable levels by Sunday with a high on either side of 80. Might feel a touch more humid too as moisture moves back into the area. This leads to a few showers and isolated storms Monday with the next approaching system.

Quote of the Day
A jury on Wednesday convicted an Illinois sheriff’s deputy of second-degree murder, a lesser charge, in the shooting death of Sonya Massey, a Black woman who called 911 to report a suspected prowler.
Grayson, who is white, and another deputy arrived at Massey’s home in Springfield early on July 6, 2024, after she reported hearing someone banging on the outside of her house. He shot the 36-year-old woman after confronting her inside about how she was handling a pot of hot water on the stove.
