3. Cold front moves in at the end of the work week. As we take a look ahead to the week of weather, temperatures will drop steadily from the beautiful weather we had this weekend. By the time Friday rolls around, low temperatures will be in the mid-teens. There is no rain or snow forecasted, and high temperatures will only reach the mid-thirties. (Weather.com)
