A cold front will pass through the area tonight with a chance for showers and thunderstorms in the area.  Overnight lows will fall into the lower 60s.  Friday morning we could see a passing shower, but clearing skies will start to move in during the midday hours.  Highs will be in the lower 70s and it will be a little breezy over us. A fair weather system moving in from the northwest and a storm spinning over the New England States will combine to bring in some delightfully cool air to start the weekend off.   It will be a little breezy Friday night through Saturday.  Under clear skies will we have overnight lows in the middle 40s and highs in the upper 60s and the lower 70s.  Sunday will feature sunshine over us with a high in the middle 70s.   Memorial Day will be mostly sunny with a high of 75-80.  Warmer weather and partly cloudy skies will be around through the end of May.  I cannot completely rule out a chance of a thunderstorm during that time frame but they will be few and far between.  Highs will climb into the middle 80s and could approach 90 by Friday.
