After another round of severe weather on Thursday evening, a stretch of nice weather is coming back around after a brief cool down.

Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service says today (FRI) will be the coolest day of the week. A gradual warm-up this weekend will lead us into a very nice week next week.

Shimon indicates the area is solidly in the above-normal temperature range in the short-term outlooks, with some precipitation likely throughout the next couple of weeks.

Temperatures will return to the 70s next week.
