If you have been enjoying our slow entrance to fall weather, today may be your last warm day for a long while. Enjoy the mid to upper 70s. Out next cold front will cut temps down tomorrow, then open the pattern for even colder air and rain into next week.
Morning Surface Weather
A storm in the Upper Midwest will spin and pass to our north. But ahead of it we get warmer air on Southwesterly winds. The cold front will bring showers to western Maryland today, and some NW Suburbs tonight. It’s likely to dry out for metro areas.
By tomorrow we get into the colder winds.

The circulation can been seen moving through eastern Iowa. This will ‘turn the corner’ and start to move more east then northeast across the lower Great Lakes.
Morning Temperatures
Cool, but milder than recent mornings. You still might need a jacket.

This should be the warmest day of the week, and for a while. Metro areas will reach the upper 70s. Some car and bank thermometers might touch 80ºF.
