Following this morning's cold front, cooler, drier air continues to filter in from the north. This will lead to morning lows in the upper 40s northward, and lower 50s elsewhere.
We'll start off Wednesday with mostly sunny skies. A bit more cloud cover is expected in the afternoon with winds out of the northeast between 10-15 mph, gusts to 20 mph.
High temperatures are expected in the lower 70s through Friday. Weather for the rest of the work week will stay fairly tranquil.
Heading into the weekend, warmer temperatures arrive as a stronger cold front heads our way. That means highs around 80° on Saturday and Sunday.
Our next chance for rain arrives on Sunday. We'll be updating the time-line as the system gets closer.
