Saturday starts mild but a cold front will drop temperatures back into the 30s and 40s by Sunday. Next week looks a little cooler but still favors above normal temperatures for November.

I still don’t see the proverbial other weather shoe dropping us irreversibly into winter mode just yet.

Stay tuned and enjoy the still snow-free days.
