Drier but chillier conditions returned for the weekend after a few days of wet weather, where some spots picked up well over 3" of rain.

Skies begin to clear tonight as temperatures drop into the mid-30s, setting the stage for a chilly but tranquil start to the second half of the weekend.

Sunday brings an abundance of sunshine and seasonable temperatures near 50, kicking off an extended stretch of dry and pleasant weather.

Sunshine is expected to dominate the forecast through much of next week, with temperatures gradually climbing each day. Highs should reach the lower 50s on Monday the mid-50s by Tuesday, and approach 60 by Thursday and Friday.

With light winds, cool nights, and no significant rain in sight, the week ahead looks ideal for outdoor plans and a welcome taste of milder late-fall weather.
