Here is your weather update for Tuesday, November 19th, 2024.
Clouds will continue to thicken up ahead of an approaching cold front. The evening, however, will remain dry and warm.
After 1am, showers and storms will move in first to our northern communities and spread southward through the early morning hours. For the morning commute, widespread rain and storms are expected. By lunch time, those storms will begin thinning out and become a bit more scattered. For the afternoon, showers will be few and far between as cooler and drier air filters in behind that front.
The threat for severe weather and flooding remains very low. 0.5"-1" are forecast across the area.

In the front's wake it will be windy with gusts out of the northwest between 20-25 mph. That will also create the threat for rip currents through Thursday.

Behind the front, the coldest air of the season arrives. We will see highs in the low 70s Thursday through Saturday and overnights will be in the low 50s with some upper 40s possible inland and north over the weekend. (The last time we had high temperatures in the low 70s was in March.)
We will slowly begin to warm up early next week. By Monday, afternoon highs will be near 80°.
