Two cold fronts will impact our weather by midweek. The 1st one arrives early Wednesday, dropping temperatures into the mid fifties for highs. A stronger cold front will move through early Thursday morning dropping high temperatures into the low forties . Factor in wind gusts over 30 mph, it'll feel like it's in the thirties all day long.

A hard freeze is expected for Friday morning with temperatures in the upper teens to low twenties. It'll remain chilly on Friday with highs in the upper forties.
