After plenty of cloud cover to start the weekend, we have broken up some of that cloud cover overnight, leading to a chilly start this Sunday morning. A Frost Advisory is in effect until 11:00 AM Sunday, as temperatures are starting in the 30s, and we could have some patchy frost out the door.

Looking ahead to the end of the weekend on Sunday, we will see some sunshine throughout the day, but as colder air moves into the region, we will also bring in the chance of a few rain showers through the afternoon and into the early evening hours. High temperatures are expected to run into the upper 40s and lower 50s by the afternoon. With a little elevated instability also moving in, we could see an isolated thunderstorm, but I am not expecting this to be widespread.

Expect mainly clear skies to move in late Sunday night and early Monday morning. With colder air moving in, we are looking at a widespread freeze overnight Sunday night into early Monday morning. Overnight lows will drop into the upper 20s in the city, and I would not be surprised to see some mid-20s and possibly even some lower-20s outside the metro. A Freeze Warning is in effect from 11:00 PM Sunday through 11:00 AM Monday for most of the region. Be sure to cover up and/or bring in those outdoor hanging plants, etc., as temperatures get really cold tonight.

Looking ahead into the majority of next week, it appears a much more tranquil weather forecast will hold. Cooler air will persist to start next week, but high temperatures will only reach the upper 40s by Monday afternoon. But then a warm-up moves into the region, looking ahead into the rest of the week. High temperatures will warm into the upper 60s both Tuesday and Wednesday, and then into the 70s by Thursday and into the end of next week on Friday.

Expect plenty of sunshine for Monday and Tuesday, before a little more cloud cover rolls in by Wednesday. But we remain dry into the end of next week, a chance of rain showers returns to the forecast by the end of the week on Friday. We’ll also keep the chance of rain showers in the forecast for the start of next weekend. High temperatures are dropping into the upper 60s by Saturday afternoon.
