A little warmer for Friday and winds lighten up and we see plenty of sunshine.

Expect highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. Even warmer for Saturday as we develop a southerly breeze in advance of an approaching cold front; look for highs into upper 40s to low 50s.

Late Saturday into Saturday night a cold front will deliver the next arctic blast just in time for the New Year. If you are going to be outside late on New Year’s Eve you will have to bundle up as temperatures will be dropping into the 20s.

Cold temperatures will be with us for the first week of the new year with another punch of cold air by week's end.
