Cool, with a few showers Friday evening in the 60s

Spotty rain is possible this evening and tonight as a reinforcing front moves through the area. Rain should taper off tonight with just a slim shot for an isolated shower over the weekend. It will be cooler this weekend with highs in the 50s and overnight lows in the 30s and 40s. In fact, some of you may get close to freezing by Sunday morning. At least the weekend is mainly dry before widespread rain returns for Monday. Big story next week leading up to Christmas will be the major cold blast expected with a strong front Thursday. That means a widespread hard freeze likely by next Friday morning and temps about 30 degrees below normal Friday afternoon! Prepare now for the expected freezing conditions! Protect your pipes, plants, pets, and of course yourself and loved ones!
