Following this warm spell, the weekend is expected to bring mostly dry conditions with highs generally ranging between the 60s and 70s.
However, the outlook for next week indicates a significant cooling trend. Meteorologists predict a substantial drop in temperatures, with daytime highs expected to fall into the 50s on Tuesday.
The cooling is projected to continue into Wednesday, when temperatures could potentially reach freezing levels. This development raises the possibility of the season’s first frost occurring by mid-week.
