Lots of sunshine is in this weekend’s weather forecast

It'll be chilly overnight and in the mornings, though.

As the region continues to restore power outages from the midweek storm, we’re looking ahead to sunny weather, even though it will be a bit breezy.

Friday is an average October day.

Friday’s highs will approach 55 to 60 degrees in most areas.

Temperatures Friday afternoon will be right around seasonal averages. I’m not expecting any precipitation for the next few days. As a matter of fact, we could make it until Monday or Tuesday without any showers.

Winds will be a bit busy Friday afternoon but much, much lighter than Thursday.

Saturday is sunny and seasonable.

Saturday is seasonable with sunshine.

It’s going to be chilly at night all weekend, and that means when you get up both Saturday and Sunday mornings, it will be cool. If you or your kids are playing any field games, be aware that temperatures will be in the 30s to lower 40s at sunrise, and it will take awhile to get into the 50s — perhaps not until 10 a.m. or so.

Winds will be light all weekend long.

Sunday will be quite comfortable.

Temperatures will be comfortable Sunday.

There is very little difference between Saturday and Sunday in terms of the weather. There might be a few high clouds showing up Sunday, but overall, it’s going to be a mostly sunny day.

The sun is now setting before 6 p.m. and rising after 7 a.m. This makes for much less daylight, so you should make the best use of it, and that should include some apple picking as most local farms are still open.
