YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, any early morning fog up in eastern Franklin County and other areas of SVT/SWNH will burn off soon enough.
We will be left with a mid to high level moisture plume overhead which will produce a higher cloud deck, and some filtered sunshine at times, and some sunny breaks/periods late in the day.
Westerly winds will be gusting 15-25mph this morning and then slacken later this afternoon to lighter winds overnight and into tomorrow.
Lows tonight will drop to the upper 20s to mid 30s under partly cloudy skies, so bundle up if you’re heading out.
This weekend is gloriously dry and sunny, but cold with highs only in the low to upper 40s Saturday and lows in the mid to upper 20s at night.
By Sunday, highs will only reach the upper 30s to mid 40s with lows in the low to mid 20s, with an upper teens low possible in the SVT mountains!
Our fair weather continues right through much (if not all) of next week, with cool temps lingering Monday and Tuesday in the 40s for highs and 20s for lows under mostly sunny skies.
A warm front passes through Tuesday with some breezy conditions, and then The Mildening will commence once again, with highs climbing into the 50s as we head into mid-November, with lows in the 30s.
In fact, someone may hit 60º in our region by next Friday, so pleasant conditions will abound with an abundance of dry weather over the next 7 days.
Have a great day!

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies: Goddamn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
