Overnight lows will be in the mid-50s.

Friday’s high will reach the upper 60s but rain chances increase to 50% as a new front approaches and bitterly cold arctic air moves in for the weekend.

Highs will only be in the 50s on Saturday and Sunday, with morning lows in the 20s and 30s across the region.

We will stay dry next week, with temperatures in the upper 70s on Wednesday.
