.DISCUSSION... 
Roller coaster weather pattern continues. Warming temperatures 
today will make for a pleasant afternoon, readings well above
normal. A series of fronts will cross the area the next two
days. A weak front tonight will bring a wind shift to the 
northeast with a slight cool down, followed by a much stronger 
front Monday that will bring sharply colder temperatures to the
area along with strong northwest winds. This will be a reality
check, so get ready for winters return...favoring temperatures 
below normal as we close out the year.
