It is truly a day of transition. Let me show you why. The frontal boundary will bring in a whole lot of cold air that will be in place for friday and saturday, with temperatures only topping out in the 30s and 40s.

Meanwhile for us this weekend, cold for saturday at 40 degrees. Again, with the winds, because it will still be breezy. It will feel like its in the 30s. We ease off of that cold on sunday. 44, but that is still below while were staying sunny and cold saturday, its High Pressure builds, were going to watch sunday and monday, notice this warmer air wants to come through and that could squeeze out rain or snow showers very late in the day, because cold air will also be trapped so were going to be watching that setup carefully for monday, is it a mix going to be possible .
