High temperatures on both days will be around 47°. Another cold front is forecast to cross the state late Friday, so we will have colder weather on the way for the weekend. Grab an extra blanket because lows are going to dive into the lower-20s on Saturday and Sunday mornings! It will be sunny Saturday, with highs in the upper-30s. Clouds increase through the day on Sunday, and highs will return to the lower-40s.
