The warm-up starts this afternoon. Despite a cooler morning than Monday, temperatures will rise quickly. Morning readings in the 40s and 50s will climb to the low 80s under mostly sunny skies.
Clouds will increase on Wednesday and Thursday as humidity levels gradually rise. Temperatures will remain in the low to mid-80s. This pattern of mostly dry and warm weather will continue through Saturday.
A cold front is expected on Sunday, bringing scattered showers by afternoon. Some showers may linger into Monday. Along with the rain, much colder weather will move in, possibly marking the coldest conditions of the season for the area.
No tropical development is expected over the next seven days.
"Our next front arrives on Sunday. Some scattered showers are possible Sunday afternoon. Some of the showers may linger into Monday. As the showers move in, so will much colder weather. It's very possible that next week we will see the coldest weather of the season across the area."
Summary: Temperatures will rise into the low 80s midweek with mostly dry conditions, followed by cooler weather and showers Sunday into Monday, potentially the coldest of the season.
