As the cold front moves east, we can expect quiet skies for Saturday evening. Comfortable dew points will set the stage for a perfect end to the holiday weekend, with sunshine returning on Sunday and seasonable temperatures.

Drop in dew points

We’ve already felt the drop in temperatures, but we’re still waiting for the drop in dew points. Lower dew points, in the 50s and 60s, will push in from the northwest through Saturday night into early Sunday morning.

Saturday night, temperatures will dip into the mid-50s across the north, while the southwest portion of the state will see mid-60s as higher dew points linger in that region.
