Sunday will be a partly sunny day with slightly milder temperatures but high temperatures will still be below normal. A cold front will move through the area at night.

Monday will be sunny but quite cold once again with highs struggling to reach 30 degrees.

Milder on Tuesday but a cold front will give us a chance of light rain and snow in the afternoon and evening.

Much colder again Wednesday through Friday but we should remain dry.
