A fall-like pattern is taking shape early this week, according to the FOX6 forecast from Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell. Patchy fog is possible Tuesday morning, but skies should brighten to sunshine and calm conditions before a cold front moves through late Tuesday night into Wednesday. The front brings widespread showers and a few thunderstorms, followed by notably cooler air. Overnight lows dip into the 40s, with some inland areas dipping into the 30s Wednesday night—the first real taste of fall. A second clipper system arrives Thursday night into Friday, bringing more rain, gusty northwest winds, and highs stuck in the low 60s into Saturday. High pressure then builds back in, allowing temperatures to rebound into the upper 60s and low 70s Sunday and Monday.
