Another warm up on the way… Expect a nice mix of sun and clouds today with highs in the upper 50s to near 60, just a shade cooler than yesterday. Clouds will build in tonight with lows in the mid 40s.

A cold front will approach the area on Wednesday but will fall apart before it gets to us. We will see mostly cloudy skies with a few isolated showers possible. Highs tomorrow will warm into the mid 60s. We will climb back into the 70s for the end of the work week with a mix of sun a clouds for Thursday and Friday.

We are tracking another cold front for Saturday that will bring us a better chance for rain. Thunderstorms are also possible as the front pushes through. Temperatures will drop behind the cold front. Expect highs near 70 on Saturday and 50s on Sunday.
