Clear, breezy and colder tonight. Overnight lows will be in the 30s area-wide; a light freeze is anticipated in our northern counties with mid to upper 30s for the rest of us. While a few spots of frost are possible, the breeze should save most of us. But go ahead and protect the sensitive plants and blooms all of the next three nights just to be on the safe side.

Nothing but sun for Tuesday. Despite that fact, it will be chilly with a bit of a breeze. Highs in the mid 50s to near 60.

Wednesday will probably be our coldest morning and best chance of seeing frost with lows in the upper 20s and lower 30s in many locations. Plenty of sun and a gradually moderating air mass will allow temperatures to max out in the 60s.

That’s all ahead of our next cold front, which will send our temperatures tumbling again for the weekend. Highs will be near 60 for the weekend with lows dipping into the 30s. Yet another frost is possible early next week.
