Fall has gone AWOL.
Overachieving in the temperature department and underachieving in the rain gauge.
Environment Canada meteorologist Geoff Coulson tells Barrie 360 the trend will continue into October, especially when it comes to the temperature.
The normal daytime high in the Barrie area for this time of year is 16, and the overnight low should be around six degrees.
"We are expecting overall conditions to remain warmer than normal for a good part of the month of October," says Coulson.
A stationary high pressure over Ontario will be responsible for the sunny conditions this week into the weekend, with daytime temperatures in the mid-20s Friday through Sunday.
In the rainfall category, Coulson says the Barrie area has been running drier than normal since June, though August was closer to normal, but that was the result of about half-a-month's worth of rain in a single day.
He says some computer models show that by mid-October, the Barrie area could return to a more seasonal precipitation pattern.
