A cold front will bring windy conditions and cooler temperatures to Staten Island on Wednesday, with wind gusts up to 25 mph and clearing skies by midday. The National Weather Service forecasts a quick transition from morning showers to mostly sunny conditions, with daytime temperatures in the lower 60s. The morning will start with scattered rain and potential thunderstorms, particularly in eastern areas, before the cold front moves through.

The season's first cold front will descend upon Florida this weekend, and South Florida will be less rainy as a result, with partly sunny skies. But don't expect a significant cooldown or dry-out. "Though the frontal boundary will pass through South Florida, it won't be a complete dry passage," said meteorologist Sammy Hadi of the National Weather Service's Miami office. He said there will still be a 30% to 50% chance of rain, even on the side of the front.

After weeks of monsoon-fueled thunderstorms, wildfires and sweltering heat, " an early season cold front " is expected to bring temperatures down across California this week. "We're going to have rapid cooling, with the biggest drop in temperatures tomorrow," Kristan Lund, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Oxnard, said Monday. "This is one of the biggest cooldowns we've seen, especially since June. ... This will bring temperatures pretty far below normal."

A plume of warm air will sink southwards from neighbouring Paraguay on Monday, lingering through Tuesday, before giving way to a cold front on Wednesday.
