A weak cold front slipping south of us tonight will bring with it a slightly cooler push of air for Friday, yet we will still warm back above average for highs. We are expecting a mix of sun and clouds, breezy conditions, and highs in the upper 70s.
We're into the lower to middle 80s again on Saturday with a morning sprinkle, otherwise plenty of afternoon sun. An even stronger front arrives Sunday. Ahead of it, a gusty wind pushes highs into the low to mid-80s. Scattered showers and an isolated storm or two are in the forecast Sunday afternoon, but nothing strong or severe is anticipated. Highs on Monday stay well below average in the upper 60s.
