Discussion              

A cold front passed through the region early this morning and today will turn out to be a breezy and cooler day than yesterday with temperatures likely peaking around the 70 degree mark. Temperatures should drop into the lower 40’s late tonight under clear skies and it is not out of the question that some outlying spots experience a late season patchy frost towards daybreak.  After another cool day on Thursday, it turns milder at week’s end and weak low pressure combined with a frontal system can produce some showers here on Friday night or Saturday. High pressure resumes control of the weather for the second half of the weekend.
