Tomorrow (Friday): This is a day meant to be outdoors. Nearly calm winds, sun-filled skies and highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s … heavenly. Confidence: High

Tomorrow night: The evening remains comfortable for outdoor activities, with readings only slowly falling through the 60s with minimal breezes. Lows range from the mid-to-upper 40s in most areas but hold around 50 downtown. Confidence: High

A LOOK AHEAD

Saturday starts out just as good as the day before but an approaching cold front is likely to push clouds into the area by midday and winds build steadily from the southwest. Highs should still peak in the mid-to-upper 60s. Showers should hold off until later in the afternoon and evening and even then are pretty spotty and light, with most areas likely to do no better than a tenth of an inch. There is a slight chance for a flake of snow to mix with any showers lingering overnight. Temps plummet down into the 30s. Confidence: Medium

Clouds break up quickly on Sunday but a partly cloudy sky prevails through the day. Most noteworthy will be gusty northwest winds pumping in plenty of cold air. Highs only manage the mid-to-upper 40s and feel colder than that. Overnight the cold really takes hold, with mid-to-upper 20s in most areas and only lower 30s in town. Confidence: Medium-High

Monday returns to mainly sunny and less windy conditions, but highs are only in the mid-to-upper 40s. Confidence: Medium-High
