· Patchy high cloudiness this morning will eventually blow away allowing for decent amount of sunshine and slightly milder temps today.

· Benign cold front will push into the region Thursday Afternoon and evening triggering a round of much needed showers. We remain very dry and really could use more rain which we may get a little more again Sunday night and off and on next week but nothing truly heavy.

· Temperatures once again dip at their coldest Friday and Saturday morning for some frost, but then rise back into the 60s as soon as Sunday.

· Unsettled weather might be a player early to mid part of next week with several small but more potent packages of jet stream energy heading our way from the West coast.

· These weather systems will be welcome for their rainfall generation, but no travel issues anticipated thru the middle part of next week.
