Discussion
It’ll turn a bit milder today ahead of the next cold front which will usher in another cold air mass for the upcoming weekend. High pressure will shift off the coast on Sunday and it'll turn noticeably milder on Monday and Tuesday with a southwesterly flow of air and rain is possible each day. Another strong cold front will then slowly push through the region on Tuesday night and usher in a cold air mass for the middle of next week. There is the chance that rain changes to snow late Tuesday night/early Wednesday as the colder air arrives behind this slow-moving frontal system.
