(1) Even with some clouds passing overhead or just southeast of the area today, I expect sunshine in general over the next few days with below average temperatures for today with a pretty good warmup tomorrow into Thursday with temperatures back above seasonal averages.

(2) A dry, but stronger, cold front will move southward through the area by Thursday evening with temperatures falling back to seasonal averages late week into the weekend.
