Cooler weather arrives just in time for the astronomical start of autumn. Cloudy conditions have been persistent, and will continue today. A chance for rain and scattered thunderstorms tonight going into Saturday from a passing cold front. These will not be drenching rains like with the remnants of Florence. High pressure returns Saturday, and should give us a dry weekend, though we may continue to see more clouds than sun.

Rest of today – cool, and cloudy, with high temperatures in the low-70s. Chance for showers and thunderstorms overnight with a passing cold front.

Saturday – sunnier with high temperatures in the mid-70s. The autumnal equinox will take place at 9:54PM EDT.

Sunday – partly sunny with high temperatures in the low-70s.

Monday (Mid-Autumn Festival) – partly sunny with high temperatures again in the low-70s.
