Hot start to October – Fall feel returns next week

A few light showers and an isolated thunderstorm are possible from the Tri-Cities north Wednesday morning. By the afternoon, skies turn mostly sunny with warmer-than-average temperatures. Temperatures will flirt with 90° through Saturday, with persistent south winds around 10–15 mph. Late Saturday into Sunday, our next system is expected to bring some cooler temperatures and rain chances into early October.

Wednesday morning, a few light showers and an isolated thunderstorm are possible around the Tri-Cities and north. There is still a bit of dry air in place, meaning some rain might not make it all the way to the ground.

We are looking to end the week off HOT and breezy! Temperatures will reach the upper 80s and lower 90s through Friday.

Wednesday afternoon, south winds will be gusting to around 20-25 mph. These windy conditions will continue through this week and keep us warmer across the state.

Tonight will be pleasant for any outdoor plans! Temperatures dipping into the mid to upper 50s under partly cloudy skies.

Wednesday afternoon, temperatures will be about 10 degrees above average. Temperatures will warm up into the low to upper 80s under sunny skies and a breezy S breeze 5-15 mph. Our current average temperature is 75 degrees!

A HOT and breezy end to the week. We look to cool off into the 70s next week with rain chances on and off. The best chance for rain looks to be Sunday night and Wednesday night into Thursday next week. Next week will definitely feel a lot cooler than this week with overnight lows in the lower 50s due to clear skies.
