Showers move out as freezing temperatures move in for the early week

Keep the rain jackets around until the end of the day today. Prepare to bring in those plants Monday night.

FORECAST:

Today brings a bit of a weather rollercoaster. Showers will continue this morning as a sharp cold front delivers a much-needed rain. Rain accumulations from .50" to 0.75" of rain will act as a natural car wash by scrubbing the tree pollen right off the driveway.

An unseasonably cold airmass is moving in for the start of the week once the rain clears. Expect frost and freezing temperatures by Monday night. Give your plants some protection before the freeze sets in. A freeze watch is in effect until 9 a.m. Tuesday morning.

The sun returns next week, but it’ll take a few days for the spring-like temperatures to return. 60s to near 70 possible by Thursday, which may be the pick of the week.
