Overview: The deep low that brought the cold front through Thursday night will move off into Canada, leaving our area in an upper trough of cooler air.

This upper jet level trough will usher in a weak secondary cold front Saturday afternoon.

Behind the weak front, high pressure builds in for Sunday.

Average season high temperatures this time of year is ~72-73º
