Clouds will stick around overnight as a cold front approaches from the west. Expect conditions to be mostly dry with lows fairly steady in the upper 50s to near 60.

We are declaring Tuesday as a First Warning Action Day due to the threat of strong to severe storms. The Storm Prediction Center does have us in a level 2 for severe weather, which means scattered severe storms are not out of the question. The biggest threat will be damaging wind gusts, flooding and an isolated tornado.  Temperatures will warm to the low 70s, making it the warmest day of the week.

A few clouds Wednesday morning followed by clearing skies as high pressure builds in. It will be a gorgeous fall-like day with highs in the mid and upper 60s. Another nice day Thursday with plenty of sunshine and highs near 70. Partly cloudy to end the work week with high temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s.
Rain chances will increase over the weekend with highs in the mid and upper 60s.
