- Quite a Quiet Weather Week

Not much in terms of weather this week as the upper trough is replaced by ridging and surface high pressure much of the week. There could be a frontal passage on Thursday but moisture appears to be non-sfficient for any chance of showers. We will probably have to wait until the weekend for any real chance of rain.

NOTE: The 2026 growing season will end this morning as soon as the Frost Advisory expires.

MARINE

Issued at 156 AM EDT Sun Oct 18 2026
