Today is cold front day!

THE FORECAST

Today and Tonight: This morning some showers are popping up along a cold front as it moves through our area. Any clouds and showers that are out there this morning will be pushed out by the late morning hours and COOL air will fill in behind it. Expect to spend most of the day in the 60s today. High temperatures will briefly reach the low 70s. When the sun goes down tonight, temperatures will drop fast. Overnight lows will be in the upper 40s. Enjoy these cooler temperatures while they last! 

Up next: Starting on Saturday, temperatures will start to rebound with highs in the mid-70s and lows in the 50s. Temperatures will be in the low 80s by Sunday with humidity making a comeback as well. This is the time of year where cold fronts are the main character. We will go back and forth between cooler, drier weather and warmer muggy weather. Next week will bring us temperatures in the 80s and rain chances each afternoon. We will patiently await the next cold front that may move through next weekend.
