Maybe grab a jacket for any of the fall festivals Sunday as temps will only make it into the upper 50s and the breeze will add to the chill in the air.

Spectacular fall weather will be with us to start the week with plenty of sunshine, dry conditions and temperatures slowly moderating through the 60s to near 70° by Wednesday.
