If you've been waiting for a real taste of fall, this week should deliver one. Forecasts for Hilton Head Island show a mild start, then a noticeable cool-down by the end of the week.

Fox Weather's outlook for the island calls for a mix of sun and clouds early in the week, with highs in the mid-70s and lows in the mid-50s. AccuWeather describes a nice start to the week, then turning much chillier and windier later on.

The biggest change is expected Friday. AccuWeather lists Friday, Nov. 13, as mostly sunny and breezy, with a high of 64 and a low of 43. Saturday, Nov. 14, looks sunny and cool, with a high of 59 and a low of 41.

Forecast details can shift from day to day, so check the National Weather Service in Charleston or your favorite weather app before making weekend plans. If you'll be out early Friday or Saturday, a jacket is a good idea, and breezy conditions may make it feel cooler near the water.

For some perspective, the Hilton Head Island visitor site lists January averages of a 59-degree high and a 40-degree low. That makes this weekend's lows a preview of winter-like mornings.
