The front will also bring in more clouds and scattered showers. Highs will warm to the low 80s on Friday, 20+ degrees above normal for this time of year.

A cold front will move through on Saturday, bringing in another round of scattered showers and a big cool down. Highs will drop to the mid 60s on Saturday and to the upper 40s on Sunday.
