Warm and dry through mid week

Meteorologist Sam Lucey has a look at the week ahead

Tonight, clouds will gradually clear out with overnight temperatures settling into the low 50s and upper 40s.

Tuesday will be sunny and a little warmer, with afternoon highs climbing to around 77 degrees. Tuesday night will stay fairly mild, with lows in the mid 50s.

For Veterans Day on Wednesday, expect mostly sunny skies and another warm afternoon, with highs near 77 degrees. Southwest winds will pick up a little during the day, but overall, it should be a nice day to get outside and enjoy the holiday. There may be a possibility of a few stray showers, otherwise we are looking dry even as the cold front approaches.

That cold front will move through late Wednesday into Thursday, bringing a noticeable change in temperatures toward the end of the week.

Thursday will still be sunny and relatively warm, with highs in the mid 70s, but northwest winds will become breezy at times.

Behind the front, cooler and drier air will settle across the region. Overnight temperatures will drop into the mid 40s Thursday night before reaching the lower 40s Friday night.

Afternoon highs will also take a dip, with temperatures in the upper 60s Friday and mid 60s Saturday.
