The National Weather Service is forecasting a brief cool-down across the region today and Thursday, with highs expected to range from the low to upper 60s.
Rainfall totals at the WFIW studios east of Fairfield measured 1.02 inches over the past 24 hours.
Looking ahead, temperatures are expected to rebound Friday into the weekend, climbing into the mid-70s and possibly nearing 80 degrees by Saturday under mostly sunny skies. However, the warmer conditions are not expected to last long.
By Sunday, forecasters are tracking another system that could bring showers and thunderstorms to the Tri-State area. Cloudy skies and highs in the upper 60s are expected, with a more concentrated period of rain and storms possible late Sunday into early Monday.
Officials say the pattern reflects a series of fast-moving systems, bringing changing conditions over the next several days.
