🎢🌡️ The temperature roller coaster isn’t done with us yet! After Sunday’s strong cold front, we’re already warming back up — morning lows climb into the 60s by Saturday. Then, another cold front moves through Saturday night, bringing a 15–20° drop with morning lows back in the 40s on Sunday. And because the ride must go on… we warm back up again next week. 😅 🌧️ Heads up: A few storms may be possible Friday night into Saturday ahead of the front. Stay weather-aware and keep the layers handy!
