Relatively warm temperatures for the time of year are with us and will remain for the next couple of days, and we should see some more sunny days.

Temperatures today reached into the high 50s and low 60s across the region. Similar highs can be expected Tuesday, Election Day, and Wednesday, dropping to a high in the low 50s Thursday with a chance of rain, possibly heavy at times, and reaching only the 40s on Friday, Veterans Day, with a chance of rain and snow.

The chance of rain increases as the week goes on, but no higher than 50 percent. There is a chance of some snow and rain Friday.

For the weekend, we can expect cloudy skies, according to the National Weather Service, with daytime high temps in the upper 40s and low 50s and overnight lows below freezing Friday night, around freezing Saturday night, and well above freezing Sunday night.

It looks as though the higher-than-normal temperatures will be with us at the beginning of next week, too.
