An upper trough remains in place through midweek, which will keep temperatures below seasonal norms. This trough will recede steadily, which will allow for slow and steady warming. Energy moving around the trough looks to bring breezy afternoon and evening winds. A weak ridge could bring temperatures about 5 degrees above normal for the holiday weekend.
Lingering cold air looks to keep overnight lows in parts of the east side near frost or freeze conditions. While confidence is low to moderate if the thresholds for a full hazard product will be met, overnight lows will certainly be below normal. Please be aware of local conditions and individual impacts.
