A shift in wind direction will propel temperatures upward today with highs topping out around 70F under sunny skies.

Tomorrow will be even warmer than today with– once again– sunny skies and temps topping out in the mid to upper 70s!

A high pressure system will continue to sink southward on Thursday which will, ironically, switch the wind direction again which means Thurs and Fri, while still sunny, will be marginally cooler (mid to upper 60s)

The main driver of our weather this marathon weekend will be a developing tropical storm in the Gulf. As the storm (which could be the seasons FIRST hurricane or could remain as a Tropical Storm, tbd) moves inland, it will push warm, HUMID air northward. A heat dome (just like the ones we get in the summer) will send temps soaring to around 80F on Saturday with dew points also rising. It will feel like August out there!

The tropical system will provide some cloud cover on Sunday which, despite the muggy, warmer-than-normal temps could be a saving grace for those running 26 miles. Unfortunately, tropical rain is likely to begin around noon on Sunday lol.

Seasonably warm weather will stick around after the weekend, but there are indications that TRUE Late Fall will finally arrive sometime around October 17 (with 40s and 50s!) 

Tl;dr - Sunny, gorgeous all week: 72F today, 76 tomorrow, 60s Thurs-Fri. MUGGY, very warm this wknd
