Hard Freeze Expected This Weekend, No Meaningful Rain In Sight
Thursday, November 12, 2026 · Elan
While the first half of our week was quite warm, the second half will feel vastly different.
Due to our cold front that moved thru last night, temperatures will be much closer to average for this time of year, in fact, we’ll actually be below average this weekend. Which, it feels like we haven’t been below average temperature-wise in…I don’t know when.
Can’t totally rule out a quick passing shower this afternoon, maybe Friday afternoon as well – but these will be no big deal, won’t amount to much rain, if any. Just enough to get the sidewalk wet in some cases.
Highs near 60° today will be the “warmest” we see until the middle of next week. Friday thru Sunday, highs will only reach around 50°.
A hard freeze is expected both Saturday and Sunday mornings, with lows in the mid to upper 20s. Prepare to protect plants and pets.
While afternoons will gradually warm by the beginning of next week, we’ll continue to start the mornings below freezing.
Besides our beneficial rain around Halloween and last Tuesday/Wednesday, that’s been about it. Thankfully, that has brought some drought relief – but not much.
Unfortunately, with no meaningful rain in the forecast, things don’t look to improve much in the short-term.
The good news is that we did see some improvement after last week's rain, with a good chunk of Extreme Drought being removed.
The bad news is that most of us are still at least in a Severe Drought, and no meaningful rainfall is expected over at least the next week. pic.twitter.com/7txqBJpfKX
