Warm, spring-like conditions will continue as we round out the weekend Sunday.

Mild overnight with lows holding in the mid-upper 60s.

Patchy to perhaps dense fog could be possible in spots first thing in the morning.

Highs heading for the upper 70s to lower 80s Sunday afternoon under a mixture of sun and clouds.

Slight chance at a passing shower, but better rain chances holding off until next week as the pattern turns a bit more unsettled.

Mild and muggy start to Monday with readings in the upper 60s.

A cold front will begin approaching from the north by Monday afternoon.

I still think highs will sneak into the lower 80s prior to the arrival of the front.

A few scattered showers and storms will be possible, but latest short-range models have kind of backed off on widespread activity across the area.

The severe weather risk will be setting up well off to our north.

Now that front will get caught up across the area Tuesday and into portions of Wednesday, keeping rain chances slightly elevated.

It will be cooler with highs only in the 60s both days.

Warming back up into the 70s by the end of the week before yet another cold front arrives on Friday.

That front could send in even chillier air for the following weekend (lows in 30s?!).

So, you may not want to pack up the winter gear quite yet.. HA!

But in the short-term, enjoy the spring-like conditions for the rest of this weekend.
