Temperatures will continue to dwell into autumn-like ranges in the Wyoming Valley this week.

The National Weather Service indicated that it was 57 degrees as of 6:54 a.m. this morning. A few clouds lingered in the sky, but sunshine greeted the end of the second to last weekend of the month.

Clouds will gradually move into the area today, with a chance of showers before 5 p.m. — after 5 p.m., showers will become likely, along with a possible thunderstorm. Up to a quarter of an inch of rain is possible, and today’s high will climb to the upper 70s.

Showers will continue to be likely up until 1 a.m. tonight, followed by a slight chance for showers between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. Otherwise, mostly cloudy skies will change over to partly cloudy skies overnight. Less than a tenth of an inch of rain is expected, and tonight’s low will be in the upper 50s.

There will be slight chance of showers between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Monday — otherwise, partly sunny skies are expected. Monday’s high will be in the lower to mid 60s.
