Friday is looking awesome with sunshine, lower humidity, and temperatures in the upper 70s, well below average.

Comfortably cool, crisp fall air will be around each morning this weekend with 50s in the morning and afternoon highs only in the low 80s. With mostly sunny conditions and low humidity, it’s looking just about perfect for mid-October.

We begin another warming trend on Monday but temperatures will only be near average in the mid-80s.

TROPICS: Tropical Storm Karl is in the Southern Gulf, headed toward Mexico. A tropical wave has emerged in the Eastern Atlantic. We’ll watch it, but it’s way out there.
