Overall dry weather and warmer temperatures are expected across the area the couple of days, with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. High temperatures for today are expected to range from the mid 50s in the north to near 70 in the south, with south to southwesterly winds between 10 to 20 MPH, with the strongest speeds expected across southern areas. Friday will again have highs ranging from the mid 50s in the north to near 70 in the south, with a frontal boundary switching winds to the northwest through the day. Speeds of 15 to 20 MPH are expected. A few sprinkles or flurries cannot be totally ruled out late Friday night across far western portions of the area. The daytime hours on Saturday are expected to be dry, with rain chances starting to spread across the area Saturday night into Sunday. Rain chances also continue into Monday, with the potential for some snow to mix in across northwestern portions of the forecast area. Highs this weekend are expected to reach the 50s to low to mid 60s, before another cold front starts dropping temperatures into Monday. Winds this weekend look to be generally easterly, with speeds anywhere from 10 to 20 MPH. Gusty north winds of 20 to 25 MPH are expected on Monday behind that passing frontal boundary.
