SAVANNAH, Ga. () — Thursday brought a day of overcast skies and cool breezes, with temperatures climbing only into the 60s across most areas.

Friday morning is expected to begin under mostly clear skies, with temperatures dipping into the 40s. As high pressure moves into the region, the afternoon should see plenty of sunshine. Highs are anticipated to reach the low to mid-60s, accompanied by occasional strong breezes.

As the sun sets on Trick or Treat evening, temperatures will drop, becoming quite chilly. Early evening temperatures will linger in the lower 60s but will gradually descend into the 50s. Consider adding an extra layer to those Halloween costumes to stay warm.

Saturday’s weather will mirror Friday’s, with one notable difference: inland areas are more likely to begin the day in the 30s, offering a brisk start to the weekend.

This could mark the first occurrence of frost this season in the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry, bringing a hint of winter’s approach.

Daylight saving time ends this Saturday night and you will have an extra hour of sleep. Be sure to turn your clocks back one hour at 2 a.m. Sunday.

The next cold front will move into the southeast on Sunday, and it will bring a chance for a few late-day showers. Temperatures ahead of the front will be in the upper 60s to lower 70s.

Monday will feature a few passing showers on and off throughout the day. Temperatures will again reach the upper 60s to lower 70s.

The airmass behind the front is originating from the Pacific Ocean rather than a cold Canadian airmass.

Near-normal high temperatures will gradually return later next week. The normal high temperatures for this time of the year are in the low to mid 70s.

TRACKING THE TROPICS

Hurricane Melissa is now approaching Bermuda after blowing through the Bahamas and Turk and Caicos on Wednesday.

Melissa has 105 mph sustained wind as of 8 p.m. Thursday. It is quickly moving northeast at 32 mph. The center of the storm is located about 250 miles west of Bermuda.

Hurricane Melissa will begin to weaken as it moves to the north of Bermuda and into the cooler waters of the North Atlantic. By Friday or early this weekend, it will transition into an extratropical low or post-tropical cyclone.

Melissa poses no threat to the U.S. other than a high risk of rip currents and rough surf.
