Generally the coldest air behind a cold front comes the second day after it moves through. Expect a high of 70 on Friday highs in the mid 70s can be expected for both Saturday and Sunday.There are increased rain chances for Sunday especially for the afternoon. Expect a 60 percent coverage of showers and a couple of thunder showers after 1 p.m. on Sunday. Of course Sunday is the NFL Pro Bowl at Camping World Stadium.
The cold front that brings in rain on Sunday will bring a cool down by Monday. Next week high temperatures will reach the upper 60s after warming into the mid-and upper 70s on Sunday.
