Today will feel like summer with near-record-warm temperatures with a high of 85 the record is 88 set in 1971. Increasing humidity today will make it feel like 88 degrees.
Weather Alerts
The warmer and drier conditions this week should slow down the progression of fall leaf color a bit, which got off to an early start due to recent cloudy, cool, and damp conditions in September. Normal highs should be in the upper 60s. But will average 5-15 degrees above normal into the end of the week. To get the colors to start popping we need warm, dry, and sunny days with crisp cool nights.
