As Zeta continues to move away from us, we are seeing the rain and winds decrease here. A cold front has also pushed through the region Thursday morning. Drier, sunny and cooler weather weather builds back in by Friday. It will continue through Halloween weekend and into early next week.

THURSDAY: Now with Zeta out of here, a cold front has moved through. Temperatures will be dropping from the 70s into the 60s then the 50s as the sunshine tries to return by early afternoon. Still breezy as those winds switch from the SW to NW at 10-25 mph.
