The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: After a gorgeous Monday with plenty of sunshine and highs in the lower 60s, a much more active and colder stretch of weather starts today. A brief period of rain occurred overnight into early this morning, but dry conditions return (briefly) for a few hours this morning with sunshine, but an upper level low pressure system will bring in more widespread rain and gusty winds this afternoon through Wednesday into early Thursday. The colder air will generate both lake effect and lake enhanced rain showers. The coldest air of the season is on the horizon for Wednesday and Thursday with highs only reaching the upper 40s. Later this week, we'll have frost possibilities again in the morning hours, especially Friday and Saturday mornings. Temperatures will moderate again by the end of the week into the weekend, with highs likely making a run at 60-degrees by Sunday.
