But the long stretch of clear weather ahead means the drought persists, and fall foliage may be affected.

After some clearing on Saturday night, it will be cool, dry and very pleasant for the rest of the holiday weekend, with daytime highs below 80 along with low humidity. The weather is ideal for outdoor music, theater and dance, as well as July 4 celebrations.

After a run of chart-busting daytime highs, temperatures will return to a more normal range for late March.

Temperatures will warm from 50 on Tuesday to the low 60s by Friday, with no significant rainstorms expected as the seasonal transition gains momentum.

Temperatures will average out near normal for this week, with wide swings from the 50s down to the teens, but no accumulating snow is in the extended forecast.

After a midweek taste of milder temperatures, another bout of storminess is likely by Friday.

After a record-bending but dreary mild spell, temperatures are back to normal for early January, sunshine is back, and there may even be some snow late this week. 

Several rounds of light sleet and snow are possible for the week ahead, but temperatures should remain above average.

Temperatures will continue to trend well above normal for the week ahead, with no snowstorms on the horizon.

Abrupt temperature shifts and a windy start to the week, followed by a possible light snowfall at mid-week as turbulence continues.
