Saturday continues to trend colder with high temperatures holding in the 40s. Heaviest rain will fall between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.
A strong cold front will knock us back into reality with highs returning to the 40s Sunday. There will be mountain snow Sunday with a few rain and snow showers making it al the way into the Metro Area Sunday afternoon. It will also be quite windy to breezy Sunday into Monday, so plan on temperatures feeling colder than they actually are. Wind chills Monday at the bus stop will be between 15 and 25 degrees.
Colder days are ahead next week with highs mainly in the 40s. A storm will develop off the southeast coast Thursday and Thursday night that we will be watching very carefully as enough cold air will be available for winter precipitation if it moves far enough north and west.
