Warm Temperatures Peak Before Regional Midweek Cooldown

Much of the United States is experiencing a warm spell with temperatures reaching into the upper 80s and 90s across many regions this week. Central Coast and Idaho are seeing a warming trend with highs near 90 degrees and mostly clear skies, though temperatures will begin to cool by next weekend. Southern Indiana is also under the influence of summer-like heat with highs near 90 degrees, but rain chances are expected to increase toward next weekend, signaling a shift to fall-like weather. Meteorologists forecast that this upcoming weekend will bring the first significant chance of rain and a transition to cooler, fall-like temperatures across several areas. Overall, the current warm weather is expected to be the last major warm-up before temperatures drop and more typical autumn conditions arrive. Nighttime temperatures are expected to remain comfortable in the 60s despite the daytime heat.
