 .DISCUSSION...
 A dry cold front will sweep through on Saturday, bringing breezy 
 northeast winds of 15 to 20 mph and helping to clear out any patchy 
 fog. Saturday night will be quite chilly as dry air moves in, with 
 low temperatures dropping into the mid 40s to mid 50s across the 
 lower elevations with some upper 30s possible in the colder mountain 
 valleys by Sunday morning. Looking ahead to next week, expect mostly 
 dry and pleasant weather, with just a slight chance for a few light 
 showers in our southernmost counties on Sunday and Monday.
