A warming trend is expected this week. Another cold front moves through on Friday night into Saturday, brining an increase in chances of showers and storms. Cooler this weekend behind the front. Some locations will see below freezing temps at various points throughout the week.
Since the recent warm weather has produced many pretty flowers and the vegetation has awakened, be aware that freezing temperatures will be a risk this Saturday night into Sunday morning.
A gradual warming trend will continue through mid-week. Otherwise, near seasonal temperatures and mostly dry conditions will occur for much of the week.
