A rather strong cold front comes through Wednesday, bringing the chance of showers and storms, probably during the first half of the day. If the front gets held up and the storms come in later and more toward the afternoon, they could be strong. Highs are close to 80. By Wednesday afternoon or night, cooler and drier air should start to move in, with crisp lows from 55 to 60. Confidence: Medium

Thursday and Friday are both shaping up to be fantastic days, with sunshine, a breeze, low humidity and highs near 75. Clear and cool at night with lows in the 50s. Confidence: Medium-High

It does warm up a bit toward the weekend but — from this vantage point — it still looks good. Highs both days are pretty close to 80 with continued low humidity. The nights should be clear and refreshing with lows near in the 50s to near 60 downtown. Confidence: Medium
