Discussion

The work week will end with clouds this morning giving way to some sun for the afternoon and it’ll turn noticeably warmer compared to recent days ahead of the next cool front. That front comes through the region later tonight and temperatures on Saturday will be a tad lower than today and northwest winds will kick up at times. Looking ahead, a significant warmup is expected for the early and middle parts of next week. Temperatures should climb well up into the 80’s on Monday for afternoon highs and then a flirtation with the 90-degree mark is possible on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
