On Tuesday, skies cleared, resulting in a significant drop in temperatures overnight. With light winds accompanying this cold snap, residents can expect a brisk morning.

New Year’s Eve: A Clear and Mild Celebration
As we prepare for New Year’s Eve, a warming trend is anticipated starting Wednesday. Afternoon highs are forecasted to reach the 60s under clear skies, with temperatures falling to around 50 degrees by midnight.
7-Day Weather Outlook

- Friday: A cold front is expected to pass through, but temperatures will remain mild in the afternoon.
- Saturday: Cooler temperatures with highs in the 60s but still pleasant, as most of the nation’s cold air stays in the Great Lakes and Northeast.
