Discussion
The passage of a strong front last night resulted in a sharp drop in temperatures and temperatures are likely to do no better than about 45 degrees today for afternoon highs. It stays on the chilly side on Friday, but a warm-up begins early this weekend and it’ll take temperatures back to the low-to-mid 60’s for highs on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. And like this week’s warm spell, the one on the way for early next week will be somewhat marred by occasional showers.
