Cooler stretch

Looking at cloudy skies overhead right now. Temperatures are in the low 60s. 63 degrees in the city of Detroit right now. 58 in Muskegon, mid 60s in Chicago. Approaching almost 70 degrees in Fort Wayne right now. So it is very mild across the region. We have a span of 40s to 80s. You have to head all the way up to the northern Plains states to see the 40s and then down to southern Ohio to see more so of the 80s in Cincinnati. Now us breaking a record yesterday is not a normal thing. And actually during the month of October, late October, days where we see 80-degree days are really not super common either. This year, last year, and the year before that, we've managed to pick up one day where we've seen 80-degree days past the middle of October. Now, in terms of rain, we could always use more of it. Yesterday, we didn't pick up on much. We're still at a surplus at about a half an inch or so. We're starting to see that surplus dwindle, though, with every dry day that passes. So again, adding more to that is only a positive thing. 63 right now in the city, 58 in Lansing. Temperatures overall again are much cooler than where we were at this time yesterday but we're actually closer to the seasonal high today than yesterday. We're ranging anywhere between 18-20 degrees colder than this time yesterday and that number is only going to continue to grow as we get closer to the afternoon. Now in terms of rain I think our rain chances are well past us at this point. Shower south of us into portions of Oklahoma and Texas. We are going to stay quiet just holding on to a lot of cloud cover today. High temps have already peaked in the upper 60s we'll be in the mid 60s this afternoon. And then after that, our rain chances begin to increase late Thursday into Friday. Now that's going to be our next chance and our next system here that's going to impact us in terms of rain, but also it's going to cool us off just a little bit more. So here's our Fox Futurecast model, 10 p.m. Thursday night. We'll see intermittent showers that'll take us into early Friday. Friday night, we'll begin to see that rain chance subside. Also with that too, our wind conditions will begin to kick up directly out of the northwest. That's going to funnel in some slightly cooler air. Winds anywhere between 20, 25 miles per hour. Next three days, temps are going to decrease. We'll be in the 60s Thursday, Friday, upper 50s. Although we do see a brief cool down, we do see above average temperatures look to take us through at least the third week of October. So it's a very brief cool down. Extended forecast shows a lot of 50s starting off the weekend, and then we're back to the 60s heading into next week. Dina, over to you.
