What a fine finish to the work week! As we head into the weekend, the mild trend will only continue thanks to a dominating ridge of high pressure. Friday night will be calm, cool and comfortable with the overnight low in Midtown falling to 56 degrees, while temperatures in the suburbs could be near the lower 40s.

The start of the weekend will be filled with sunshine. High pressure will move out of the Ohio Valley and move to the north of the tri-state. As the area of high pressure migrates to the north, the wind flow will turn out of the north, northeast. The northerly wind will bring down slightly cooler air Saturday. The daytime high Saturday will be around 70 degrees. Now, while it may feel a touch cooler, keep in mind... the average for the city is 66 degrees. So, temperatures will stay remain above average. The overnight lows across the region. will range from 45-58 degrees. Expect the mild days and cool nights to continue Sunday, as you can liken the temperatures to something you would feel more like spring or late summer. Sunday, will be another picture perfect day to spend outdoors, with highs in the middle to lower 70s.

It's a great weekend to take advantage of the leaf-peeping season. Across the northeast, colors are either peaking or near peak to the north of the tri-state. You will find "patchy" color across our area. Wherever you go, you've got great traveling conditions to explore the fall foliage.

The quiet weather pattern will continue Columbus Day, although there could be a few more high clouds in the sky. Tuesday, a cold front is expected to approach from the area...and this will bring in a few more clouds as the day progress. Right now, I'm not calling for any precip. Wednesday will be a cooler day with highs in the upper 60s.
