This month has seen extreme temperature fluctuations, with a transition from frost and freeze advisories to record highs.

The warm weather is dominating, but rain is finally in the forecast.

Some areas are close to breaking temperature records, while others are experiencing a summer-like feel despite it being fall.

Changing Weather Patterns and Fall Beauty

The week starts with summer-like temperatures, but a front bringing northwest winds will lead to a cool down.

By the end of the week, pleasant mornings will transition to warm afternoons.

The area is experiencing peak fall colors, with beautiful pictures of leaves and vibrant scenery.

Weather Update: Changing Conditions Ahead

The weather has been persistently dry, with rain expected but not widespread.

A slippery situation is anticipated from Wednesday to Thursday due to a weak front stirring up the wind.

Temperatures are returning to normal, and there's a reminder to be fire safe during the dry period.

Temperatures are set to drop significantly, with Friday morning lows in the 40s, marking a 20-degree decrease.

The cooler weather will bring a fall feel from Sunday into Monday, just in time for Halloween.
