Frost Advisory in Effect Tonight


High pressure will result in clear skies and light winds tonight, promoting widespread frost development by Tuesday morning. Full sunshine will allow temperatures to quickly warm into the 40s by 9 AM, with 70s expected by afternoon.

Monday Morning Coldest Of Fall So Far

This Monday morning at Richmond International Airport, the temperature dropped to 37 degrees around sunrise, which is the first time this Fall season we have officially dipped into the 30's in Richmond. Widespread Frost Advisories and Freeze Warnings were in effect this morning for the entire Southeast U.S.
Surface high pressure is in place across the Southeast, and with clear skies again tomorrow morning, I expect a similar setup for freeze and frost in the region.

When Do We "Fall Back?"


Over this weekend, a lot of people were asking me, "Hey, when do we change our clocks back?" Soon! In fact, after your kids finally wind down after the sugar rush of trick-or-treat Halloween candy, and before you finally collapse after keeping an eye on them, turn that clock back. Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday, November 1st at 2 a.m., the morning after Halloween. So make sure you aren't spooked the following morning by the time change! Remember, we "Spring Forward, and Fall Back."
