In the wake of the front, the new work week will start with breezy and cooler weather. Monday will be sunny and breezy with winds of 10 to 20 mph and cooler highs in the middle 50s. Tuesday looks partly cloudy, gusty and cool with highs only in the lower 50s.
By the middle of the week, the core of the cool air mass will settle overhead, leading to a couple of cold mornings with a freeze both Wednesday and Thursday. Highs will only reach the middle to upper 40s both days which is about ten degrees cooler-than-average.
