Cold temperatures to start the morning will carry over from our chilly weekend as most areas start out at or near freezing at sunrise. You’ll likely wake up a bit of frost on the ground this morning, but bright sunshine will help temperatures rebound back into the lower 60s by afternoon under sunny skies throughout the entire day. Winds will be lighter as well, making for better outdoor working conditions. We’ll begin a warming trend that will continue through Wednesday as temperatures begin to warm up closer to 70 by tomorrow and into the middle 70s on Wednesday.
