...Eastern U.S. experiences first taste of Autumn this weekend while
blustery northwest winds from the outer edge of Fiona brush up against
eastern Maine on Saturday...

...Potentially record breaking temperatures possible for parts of the
ArkLaTex region on Saturday...

An amplifying ridge in the West will allow for sunny/clear skies and
seasonable temperatures for the region this weekend. Meanwhile, a digging
trough in the East will contribute to shower and thunderstorm activity,
which will develop along a cold front, moving from the Upper Midwest to
the Northeast and down through the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys and
Appalachians. A stalled out cold front will be the focus for scattered to
isolated showers and thunderstorms across central to southern portions of
Florida this weekend. Tropical moisture begins to flow into the Florida
peninsula Sunday night into Monday.

High wind warnings and wind advisories are in effect for Maine due to
Hurricane Fiona's arrival over Nova Scotia tonight. High winds are
expected to continue through Saturday before weakening Sunday night when
Fiona is forecast to lift farther into Atlantic Canada. Portions of the
Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley will continue experiencing a
warm-up as ridging in the South retracts and builds into the West over the
next couple of days. High temperatures in the mid to upper 90s may tie or
break existing records for portions of the ArkLaTex region on Saturday.
Lows in the 70s tonight will be 15-20 degrees above average for parts of
the Southern Plains.
