It'll be a cloudy start Wednesday with some isolated showers possible, but the sunshine should be in full force in the afternoon. High will only be in the 50s and low 60s though. And it gets much colder from here.

Highs are not expected to reach 50° on Friday, and the weekend remains below normal. Just wait until you see what the models are showing for next week though.

It's more than seven days out and a lot has to be ironed out. At the very least, long range models are both hinting at some seriously cold weather moving in. Do we get any precipitation with it? That's what we'll be keeping an eye on, so stay tuned!
