Weather Rollercoaster: From Cold Spurt to Picture Perfect Weekend

After a warm week, a cold front is expected to bring a brief cooldown, but a long stretch of cold weather is unlikely. The upper-level air flow and temperature deviation from normal indicate a return to mild temperatures by mid-October, with afternoons in the 60s and low-70s. The fall color change will be accelerated by the upcoming chilly spell, but overall, late October is expected to be mild with temperatures slightly warmer than normal.
