Warmer Than Average: Above-Normal Temperatures Across the Central U.S. This Week

WHAT TO EXPECT

A ridge of high pressure lingers, keeping temperatures above average across the central U.S. Temperatures across the south will run 5°-10° above average, but in the northern Plains and Midwest, 10°- 20° above average! This will make for some warm weather for any fall activities you have planned.

NORTHERN PLAINS AND MIDWEST:

It was another warm October afternoon on Saturday across the High Plains. A sharp cold front is dropping through the area this weekend, however. Check out the highs in the forecast through Monday. Minneapolis will only reach 49° Monday afternoon.

The Central and Southern Plains won't feel as significant of impacts from this front. Temperatures will linger above average, in the 70s and 80s, through the weekend. However, there's some signal that temperatures will cool off late this week 👀

This year has been a good reminder to enjoy the cool air when it does make an appearance. As we look ahead to the last few days of October, there is high confidence that much of the country will remain above average. That looks to include and Trick or Treaters if the pattern holds up!
