This is a very strange 500mb trough/ridge/trough combination. There are high 500mb heights in the Northeast tonight, but temperatures will drop towards freezing in that region.

From a weather enthusiast perspective this has been an extremely boring month of weather, but this has been an exceptional stretch of weather to be sure.

A top 5 warmest October for Chicago and for a lot of places. Electric bill and gas bill gonna be at a low point with these perfect temps.

close to 70 here, thanks to a stiff S wind. Watching wednesday for a potential record high (current is 72), and the NWS point is 71.

No, i'd rather have cooler weather. Kankakee's October is avg for Raleigh NC. I lived in SC for 17 years, I remember it well.
