The local outlook

🌙10/10/2024 – It's another nice day, but a bit cool, as highs will only be in the low 60s. The sunshine will continue through the weekend, with temps climbing into the mid-70s. Then, another front will come through overnight Sunday and usher in some cool fall temperatures, with highs in the 50s for a few days. A few showers may accompany that front. 

After a cooldown next week, the models do hint at temperatures rebounding back to near or even slightly above normal. Dry conditions will continue! 

The forecast:

Today: Hi 61 ☀️ Lo 40 🌙 – Sunny and clear with light winds

Friday: Hi 67 ☀️ Lo 47 🌙 – Sunny and clear with calm winds

Saturday: Hi 75 ☀️ Lo 51 🌙 – Sunny becoming partly cloudy overnight

Sunday: Hi 74 🌤️ Lo 52 🌧️30% – Mostly sunny, becoming mostly cloudy with a chance of showers late

10/9/2024 – Started off quite chilly this morning! We will warm to around 70 today with breezy gusts up to 20mph. Cooler tomorrow with highs in the low 60s. Some folks MAY see frost tomorrow night in the sheltered valley areas as temps, especially in western Loudoun, drop to the mid and upper 30s to around 40 in the eastern areas. We rebound a bit on Friday and especially for the weekend as highs go back to the 70s.. 

BUT – Next week, we could see some spots flirt with freezing temps as a very cold pool of air is poised to make its way through the area. By Tuesday, we could see high temps only in the 50s, and widespread 30s could be possible Tuesday night or especially Wednesday night next week! We will see just how cold it gets because sometimes models back off on cold shots when they approach! 

Of course, I am concerned for Florida. Milton grew in size over the last 24 hours and now is a much larger hurricane. This morning, as of this writing, he is still at 155 mph winds, but that does reflect some slight weakening.. As he weakens, the wind field does grow. People in Florida need to leave now or be confident they are well inland and in very sturdy homes. The coast from Tampa and southward, especially in Sarasota and to Cape Coral, must be off the coast! Praying for rapid weakening today! 

The long-range continues to look cooler than normal and very dry! 

The forecast:

Today: Hi 68 ☀️ Lo 43 🌙 – Sunny with light northwest winds, gusting up to 20 mph, becoming clear and calm tonight.

Thursday: Hi 62 ☀️ Lo 39 🌙 – Sunny with light north winds, remaining clear at night.

Friday: Hi 67 ☀️ Lo 47 🌙 – Sunny with light northwest winds, staying clear overnight.

Saturday: Hi 75 ☀️ Lo 51 🌙 – Sunny and mostly clear.

Sunday: Hi 77 🌤️ Lo 51 🌙 – Mostly sunny, becoming partly cloudy at night.

Monday: Hi 61 🌤️ Lo 42 🌙 – Mostly sunny with partly cloudy skies overnight.

Tuesday: Hi 57 🌤️ Lo 38 – Mostly sunny and clear.

10/8/2024 – Another beautiful day ahead! For many in western Loudoun, temperatures will drop to the 30s Thursday night. If that happens, frost advisories may be issued. 

As an update, Milton came down in strength overnight but is still awful and will impact most of Florida. I'm just praying that he can be weakened more. However, I suspect some slight strengthening today once he reorganizes a bit from what is known as an eyewall replacement. Eyewall replacements widen the hurricane's eye and show a growing hurricane. 

Another BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND ALERT! 

Temps will trend slightly above normal while precipitation chances are a bit below in the long range. 

The forecast:

Today: Hi 67 ☀️ Lo 45 🌙 – Sunny with light winds, becoming clear overnight.

Wednesday: Hi 68 ☀️ Lo 42 🌙 – Sunny and mostly clear with light winds.

Thursday: Hi 63 ☀️ Lo 39 🌙 – Sunny and clear with a gentle breeze.

Friday: Hi 67 ☀️ Lo 47 🌙 – Sunny and mostly clear.

Saturday: Hi 75 ☀️ Lo 50 🌙 – Sunny and mostly clear.

Sunday: Hi 73 ☀️ Lo 49 🌧️ 30% – Sunny, becoming partly cloudy with a chance of showers overnight.

Monday Hi 62 🌤️ Lo 38 – Mostly sunny.

10/7/2024—This weather is the best of fall! It's cool and cold at night and nice and comfortable during the day. We did get a few showers overnight. Unfortunately, I was unable to see any northern lights. Sorry for the false alarm. It will be breezy today as the drier and cooler air moves in. 

Many will see the 30s on Thursday night, especially in Western Loudoun! 

I know we have some followers who own Heating and A/C companies, and they would tell you to test things out. But before you do, make sure the CO2 detectors are running, and it would be a good time to schedule a maintenance check! Get those filters swapped out, too! 

For those monitoring, Florida will likely get hit by a major hurricane. Most models show the storm weakening on approach, but Hurricane Milton may become a Category 5 when over the central Gulf before he weakens (but there is no guarantee he will). Florida is in massive evacuation mode, and we can just hope he does not come onshore for the worst-case scenario of Tampa or as strong as he may be. 

We will stay dry for a while. Temps will tend towards normal, which is low and in the mid-70s. 

The forecast:

Today: Hi 69 ☀️ Lo 45 🌙 – Sunny and mostly clear with breezy conditions, gusts up to 22 mph

Tuesday: Hi 66 ☀️ Lo 43 🌙 – Sunny and mostly clear with light winds

Wednesday: Hi 68 ☀️ Lo 44 🌙 – Sunny and mostly clear

Thursday: Hi 64 ☀️ Lo 40 🌙 – Sunny and clear

Friday: Hi 66 ☀️ Lo 46 🌙 – Sunny and mostly clear

Saturday: Hi 75 ☀️ Lo 51 🌙 – Sunny and mostly clear

Sunday: Hi 72 ☀️ Lo 50 🌙 – Sunny
