“It’s going to be an unseasonably warm day for early November ... Partly cloudy skies are expected,” he said.
Winds of 15-20 mph are forecast during the day, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
“It’s going to start out dry and then probably (later) there might be a few showers” in the afternoon, Hickman said. “But then the bulk of the rain is probably going to wait until later in the evening and overnight.”
