Tuesday brings a few scattered showers in the morning and afternoon, paired with gusty west winds up to 30 mph and highs in the mid-60s. The chance of light rain lingers into Tuesday night as temperatures fall into the low 40s.
By Wednesday, things cool off noticeably, topping out near 54 with clouds and a light breeze, followed by a chilly, mostly cloudy night around 39. Thursday looks sunnier and a touch warmer near 56, but frost is likely overnight as lows sink to the low 30s. Friday starts cold with widespread frost, then turns into a pleasant, sunny day near 58. The weekend trend brings back the clouds—expect highs in the upper 50s and occasional rain Saturday into Saturday night—before things brighten again Sunday with partial sun and a comfortable high near 63.
