> morning lows into the low 50s. A slow warm up should be on the way
> for the late week ahead of another frontal system which will really
> help to cool us down just in time for the upcoming weekend.
> Temperatures on Saturday and Sunday may only be in the upper 60s
> and low 70s for highs with cool morning lows in the 40s so it does
> look like we’ll get an early taste of fall for the big game between
