Cloudy and mild weekend ahead of a mid-week cool down

 The mild weather continues this weekend, but the cloud cover will return following a sunny Friday. Temperatures tomorrow will reach near the mid-50s very similar to the highs from today. Cloud cover will be replaced by breezy SSE winds as the driver behind the warmth, as gusts could reach 20-25 mph at times. Our next cold front will approach Saturday evening, but moisture will be very limited along it, preventing much widespread rain. We may see a spotty shower between 9PM-3AM, but otherwise we will remain dry.

We will remain mild over the weekend and into early next week with upper level flow from the Southwest through Tuesday. This will also promote the development of our next widespread weather system with rain chances Monday into Tuesday morning. Temperatures will remain in the 50s for highs and 30s/40s for lows through Tuesday.

But that same level will flip around Wednesday into Thursday with upper level troughing across the Eastern part of the country. This Northerly flow will bring our next push of truly cold air our way for the second half of next week. How long that cool air sticks around is a bit more uncertain, but it does appear likely there will be at least a few days featuring highs in the low to mid-40s after Tuesday. That drop in temperatures may feel significant, but it is really just a return closer to average, given normal high temperatures this time of year are the mid-40s.
