The dry pattern holds into the end of the week. Thursday is sunny, with a high near 66, and Friday is sunny, with a high near 71. For anyone with tender plants still outside, the frosty mornings are the main thing to plan around: Monday morning, Tuesday night, and Wednesday morning all carry frost in the forecast.

For outdoor plans, the week is about as straightforward as late October gets. Mornings call for a jacket, afternoons are mild and bright, and no rain is expected through Wednesday. Evening plans on Monday cool into the low 40s, so an extra layer is worth bringing along.
