Highs are only expected to reach around 70 degrees, which will feel much cooler compared to the recent warmth. The brisk northwest winds will add to that cooler feel, making it an ideal day to break out a light jacket if you plan to be outside. This cool-down will be short-lived, though, as it won’t take long for the temperatures to start climbing again.Once the cold front moves through and we settle into this cooler air on Tuesday, we’ll see the pattern shift back toward warmth by midweek. After the seasonable start to October, temperatures will gradually rise, bringing highs back into the upper 70s and lower 80s by Thursday and continuing through the weekend. So, while we get a brief taste of fall’s cooler air, we’ll quickly be reminded that warmth isn’t done with us just yet.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3Rt5We_0vp1MArR00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3Rt5We_0vp1MArR00" width="1300" height="730" ><figcaption>Fast Warmup (KCRG)</figcaption></figure>Despite the arrival of the cold front, no precipitation is expected with this system. The forecast remains dry, with no rain in sight over the next nine days. This means that our current weather pattern of sunshine and dry conditions will extend well into next week. Outdoor plans, whether they involve fall sports, yard work, or weekend getaways, should be safe from any weather disruptions. With this extended dry spell, we may want to keep an eye on soil moisture levels as we continue into October, especially for areas dependent on rainfall for agricultural and garden needs.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2gGYWy_0vp1MArR00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2gGYWy_0vp1MArR00" width="1300" height="730" ><figcaption>Mid October Dry Weather (KCRG)</figcaption></figure>In summary, while we’ll feel a brief cool-down on Tuesday, the overall pattern of warm, sunny days will dominate the forecast. With no rain expected in the near future, we can continue enjoying these pleasant fall conditions well into the start of the month.</div></body>
