[ Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2002 ]
A large high pressure system that parked itself over the region will continue to bring seasonable fall like weather to the area. Temperaures will remain cool during the day and will dip down into the mid to upper 40’s at night for the remainder of the week. Towards the end of the week another frontal system will ooze into the area bringing with it some clouds it should move out and stall to the east of the state by Thursday. A wave of energy may move up the stalled front effect eastern portions of the state by the weekend.
