THIS WEEK:

Monday was the coldest day of the work week but it is not the coldest weather in the forecast, that is coming this weekend. Highs only reached the upper 30s on Monday. Monday night lows will drop into the mid to upper 20s depending on if the skies clear out or not. The more clouds that linger, the warmer we will stay. The winds will briefly shift to the south on Tuesday and that will help warm us up to around 50°. Expect a mostly sunny day on Tuesday with overnight lows falling down to only around 40° due to the winds.

Breezy southwest winds are on the way on Wednesday and that will warm us up to the mid to upper 50s. Wednesday could be our first day above average in over two weeks. It will be close if we make it or not. Clouds will move in during the day as the next front will get closer and move through late in the day. Overall it looks like a dry and weak front and will only cool things down around 10° as it passes by. Wednesday night lows will cool down to around 30°.

Thursday and Friday look to be mostly sunny days. Highs will reach up to around 50° on Thursday but back into the mid 50s for Friday. Both days look dry and the winds will have a southerly component to them both days. The clear skies will make for some cold overnights though. Thursday night will fall down to the mid 30s and Friday night lows should be cooler fall into the upper 20s to kick off our weekend as a weak dry front will pass late in the day on Friday. Friday’s front will come in from the north.

THE WEEKEND:

A powerful cold blast is on the way for the upcoming weekend. The system will move through on Saturday afternoon and could bring a round of cold rain showers with it. As of now, anything but a cold rain seems unlikely at this time. That being said, if the system changes timing a brief wintry mix could fall, but seems unlikely as of now. Highs on Saturday will only reach the low to mid 40s from Friday nights front. Saturday’s system will be a low pressure area followed by a front. The frost will drop us into the mid 20s by Sunday morning.
