An anomalously amplified upper air configuration will allow unseasonably cold air to infiltrate into our area Saturday and early Sunday.

Slight moderation in temperatures will occur on Sunday and Monday ahead of another even colder air mass that will affect us next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Preceding this polar front moving through Monday evening will be some cold rain that may also change to snow before ending late Monday evening, although the models are suggesting that the precipitation will end before the cold air aloft moves in.

Saturday will be sunny and cold with highs near 40.

Sunday will be cloudy with temperatures a bit warmer, around 46.

Heavy rain and cold temperatures will be with us Monday, with the polar front moving through late afternoon or early evening. Temperatures will plummet as the winds pick up from the northwest. Not looking like any snow at this time, but things can change.
