If you've got outdoor plans, today's your day. KRTV reports highs run 10-15 degrees above normal, topping out in the 60s and 70s through Thursday, before a low from California meets a cold front tonight.

Friday turns chilly and wet. KTVH's Curtis Grevenitz says steady rain develops through the morning, then mixes with and changes to snow through Friday afternoon and evening, with highs in the 40s to around 50 falling through the afternoon.
