Cold Front Exits as Fall Air Settles In, Frost Risk Next

A quick 0.5–1 inch of rain eased dryness in spots yet left broader deficits intact.

Overview

  • Morning downpours tapered by midday with most areas logging 0.5–1.0 inch of rain and isolated higher totals that briefly slowed commutes.
  • Dry northwest winds are ushering in cooler, less humid air with highs in the 50s to low 60s and overnight lows dropping into the 30s and 40s.
  • Frost and freeze alerts are posted for late Thursday night into Friday morning in inland and suburban zones, with a risk to sensitive vegetation.
  • High pressure brings clearing and a seasonably cool, mainly dry stretch through Saturday after the front.
  • Forecasters are tracking a potential coastal low that could brush parts of the Northeast late Sunday into Monday, and Tropical Storm Jerry remains offshore with no U.S. threat.
