WEAK FRONT = BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND

A weak cold front will slide through early on Saturday. That’ll turn the winds from westerly to northerly and drag temperatures down into the 70s. Sunday morning will see temps dip into the 40s. While north winds shouldn’t be too strong, mountain cedar may increase slightly by Sunday.
