First Day of Autumn is Saturday

Pumpkin spice lattes, hot chocolate, orange and yellow leaves... It's officially autumn time.

The first day of the new season is Saturday, Sept. 22. Are you ready for the cooler weather?

Many out there are probably breathing a sigh of relief because there have been more than a few really warm days this summer.

It seems like the past two weeks though have brought the area a sneak peek of what the fall weather may be like, with temperatures dipping into the 50s at night.

But it will still feel like summer on Saturday, with temperatures expected to hit 80 degrees. There's also a 30 percent chance of an isolated thunderstorm.

By Sunday, though, it will start to feel quite fall-like. According to the National Weather Service, the high will be 71 degrees and the low will be a very cool 48.

So grab those jackets and boots, because fall is almost upon us.
