Dry Conditions Persist Through Week, Rain Possible Saturday
The dry spell that has lasted for about a week will continue for the next few days, but rain is possible this weekend. Tonight’s skies will remain mostly clear, with overnight lows in the 40s to low 50s. Wednesday will start mostly cloudy and clear up in the afternoon, with temperatures reaching the 70s—68 degrees in Wise, 73 in Jackson, and 77 in Manchester. The rest of the work week will see similar temperatures. Thursday will be sunny with a breeze, and Friday will have a few passing clouds. Saturday, the first day of Halloween weekend, will be cloudy and cooler, with afternoon highs in the upper 60s to low 70s and temperatures in the 50s during trick‑or‑treating hours. Daylight Saving Time ends on Saturday, so clocks should be set back. Rain is expected to hold off until Sunday, with a few light showers possible on Sunday and Monday, totaling less than a quarter of an inch. A slight chance of sprinkles remains on Election Day, and another round of rain chances is forecast for next Wednesday and Thursday, accompanied by cooler temperatures with highs in the 60s to low 70s.
