Overall, a mild Monday with temperatures sitting right around the average. We are going to remain dry overnight and stay dry through Veterans’ Day, which is appearing to be a very nice day with above average temperatures for this time of year. The temperatures and dry weather will be short lived though, as we are tracking a system to end this week that has potential to bring us rain and snow. Here is a look from the European model for Thursday morning that shows quite a nice batch of rain moving through the area.
