MONROE - After a week with some unseasonably warm temperatures, it's time to get the extra sweaters out and get ready for full-blown fall weather.
The week started out with temperatures in the low 70s, gradually declining to Friday's high of 59.
After today's high of 61, expect high temperatures to stay in the 50s through next week: Sunday, Monday and Tuesday are forecast to be in the high 50s before the mercury drops to a high of 54 Wednesday and a high of just 50 on Thursday.
The temperatures are right on target for this time of year. Weather Central reports the normal high for today's date is 58 degrees. The low temperatures, however, are a notch above the normal temperature of 37.
The low today is expected to be 40, followed by 41 on Sunday, 43 on Monday and 45 on Tuesday. Wednesday's low will dip to 40, still well above the freezing mark.
The relatively mild temperatures may stick around awhile: The National Weather Service says the northern U.S. could see a mild winter this year, with above-average temperatures and below-median precipitation.
