We'll be taking a ride on the temperature roller coaster to end the year. Unseasonably warm temperatures continue through Sunday, but a cold front passage on Monday will bring highs only in the 30s for Tuesday.

Unseasonably warm conditions continue through the weekend with a few sprinkles and light rain showers possible tonight. A cold front approaches the region on Sunday night and Monday with breezy conditions and higher chances of widespread rain showers. Colder air returns next week.
