The pattern continues to look quiet. We’ll transition from very warm to very cool as we go through the week. Thankfully, that transition will be gradual and without any fireworks. By Friday morning, we’ll likely be looking at scattered frost across the plateau.

The weekend continues to look unsettled, with rain showers returning.
