High pressure will start building in overnight and cause clouds to decrease.  This decrease in cloud cover, along with the colder air from yesterday's cold front, will cause temperatures to drop below freezing tonight.  Almost the entire forecast area will wake up to temperatures below 32F.  However, a quick warm-up is in store with high temperatures rebounding to the 60s for a lot of valleys. The weather looks fairly benign through much of the week with the next chance for any significant precipitation on Thursday.
