Colder temps and a chance of rain
It takes about 24-48 hours after a cold front's passage for the coldest air to arrive. That means the coldest temps of the week arrive early this morning! Lows will likely be in the mid 40s across our neighborhoods, so bundle up! High temps will again rebound to the upper 70s. Another cold front will arrive on Sunday, keeping fall temps in the forecast. A few showers are possible Saturday and Saturday night ahead of the front, but accumulation don't look impressive.
