After some lingering moisture Saturday morning, the rest of the day should start to clear out. Temps will be in the lower 40s Saturday and Sunday, and it will be dry overall.
A quick drop back to the 30s Monday before a return to sun and lower 40s by Tuesday. Another warm week with few signs for snow by Christmas.
