My advice to folks for this weekend: get out and about Saturday as much as you can, soaking in what passes for warmth during this rather chilly December, because another shot of very cold air is enroute to start the new week.

Saturday starts in the low-to-mid-40s, warmest near the coast. Southwesterly flow around high pressure to our east will help drive temperatures into the mid-to-upper 60s in the afternoon with just a few clouds at times. It’s going to be a pretty nice day, so get out and enjoy it!

The front arrives Sunday. A few showers are possible out ahead of the front, but many of us may stay rain-free. The front itself passes through around midday or so, and we should see temperatures begin to fall off in the afternoon. We’ll peak in the upper 50s to around 60° relatively early in the day as a result. Once the sun goes down, temperatures will plummet below freezing by midnight and will continue to fall heading into Monday morning.
