We are in for a great holiday weekend with sunshine for Saturday and Sunday, followed by mostly sunny skies for Memorial Day.  However, before we get there, the skies will clear tonight and it will stay windy until the overnight hours.   Lows will be a little on the crisp side, falling into the middle 40s for much of the area. It will be a little on the cool side with breezy weather Saturday holding our highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s.  Sunday morning will be cool as lows potentially fall into the upper 30s in some spots to the west and low to mid 40s elsewhere.  Sunday we warm into the middle 70s and then upper 70s by Monday.   Monday night into Tuesday a warm front will lift to the north in the area; this will bring temps back into the 80s over us.  Tuesday and Wednesday there will be a slight chance of a passing thunderstorm.  Then at the end of the week, we have 3 days in which we could see highs warming into the lower 90s.
