SUMMARY: Recently, stunning images of the full wolf moon and its halo, attributed to high cirrus clouds, captivated viewers. Temperatures currently hover in the 30s, not feeling too harsh due to calm winds. A warming trend is expected, with highs reaching the upper 50s by Wednesday and mid-60s by Saturday. However, a cold front arriving Saturday night will lead to a significant drop in temperatures, with highs in the 40s on Sunday and potentially not exceeding the 30s by Martin Luther King Jr. Day. There’s also the possibility of snow early next week, though confidence in forecast models remains low.
