The forecast shows a cooling trend beginning Tuesday, with highs only reaching the low 40s. Following this, temperatures will bounce back to the mid to upper 50s by Thursday, before another shift occurs over the weekend.

Looking ahead, Maples warned that the long-range forecast could indicate a return to cooler temperatures and potentially above-normal precipitation, which may signal the possibility of snow in the future. However, he emphasized that no snow is expected this Saturday.
The Friday night low for this week is predicted at 36 degrees, Saturday is expected to be mostly cloudy with a high of 56 and Saturday night a low around 32 degrees and Sunday partly sunny with a high near 41 degrees.
