NEXT big weather changes
Our NEXT big weather maker is another cold front, which will likely bring widespread rain to the area on Saturday, and drop high temperatures back down into the 50s. Be sure to have your backup plans ready if you have an outdoor event planned.
Total rainfall will likely be in the half-inch to 1-inch range, with some spots getting more than that. It won't be a flooding event, but an impactful one if you were planning on being outside.
Sunday is trending dry, but we'll have to watch for a few showers lingering into the morning. It will remain cool with highs in the 50s and low 60s.
More rain expected Tuesday and Wednesday with seasonably mild temps.
