Warming temperatures and light rain

We’ll have above average temperatures this weekend as southerly winds usher in mild air ahead of a cold front which will move through Sunday.

Saturday will start off cold with morning lows in the 20s but sunshine and a southeasterly breeze will bring temperatures up into the 40s during the afternoon, topping out near 50 along and south of I-70.

Rainfall amounts are expected to come in light, under a quarter inch of rain.
