Warm Thursday...Cooler Friday & Saturday...

An approaching cold front will push in much warmer air for Thursday. With mostly cloudy skies it should stay dry and the high temperature will make it all the way up to 70 degrees. Tonight, ahead of the front skies will be cloudy with scattered showers and possibly some thunderstorms. The overnight low temperature will stay at a mild 45 degrees. After Thursday's mild day, the cold front will move through at night which will usher in showers and thunderstorms early Friday. The high temperature on Friday will make it to an early 50 degrees then will fall quickly once the cold front passes. The
temperature will tumble which will cause the rain showers to change over to snowflakes at night.
The weekend will start with the cold air mass still in place. Saturday will be cloudy with snow showers from an upslope event where northwesterly winds push the cold and moist air up the mountain slopes and squeeze out snow showers. There will be accumulations in the mountains but just a dusting is expected for lowlands with a high temperature of 37 degrees. High pressure will move back in on Sunday which will bring back partly cloudy
skies and dry conditions. The high temperature will warm to 49 degrees.
Monday will be partly cloudy and warm ahead of the next approaching cold front. The high temperature will warm all the way to 62 degrees. The cold front will move through on Tuesday which will make for mostly cloudy skies with rain showers starting out and changing to snowflakes late. The high temperature will make it to an early 48 degrees and fall through the day. Cold air will still be in place on Wednesday which could lead to another upslope event for mostly cloudy skies and snow showers. The high temperature will drop to 38 degrees.
Thursday will be partly cloudy after a few lingering morning snow showers. The high temperature will warm slightly to 40 degrees. Friday will be partly cloudy with high pressure moving back in across the region. The high temperature will warm to 48 degrees. Saturday will be mostly cloudy with rain showers as another cold front moves into the region. The warm air ahead of the front will push the temperature up to 52 degrees.

The low temperature fell to 39 degrees which was one degree cooler than the forecast low temperature of 40 degrees. Wednesday was mostly cloudy with some scattered showers as expected.
