More clouds and cooler temperatures are in store this weekend.

This week is expected to start with cool days and cold nights before temperatures return to the mid 70s by the weekend.

According to the National Weather Service, the temperatures on Monday and Tuesday will be in the low 60s, while overnight temperatures are projected to drop to the mid 30s. The cold front is expected to blow out by Wednesday and temperatures should return to the 70s for the remainder of the week.
