The sudden drop in temperatures from near-record highs to much cooler conditions may catch some residents off guard. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms Wednesday night could lead to brief disruptions, though significant rainfall is not expected. On Friday, storms could become strong to severe, with gusty winds posing the primary risk. The weekend will bring much cooler conditions, with highs in the 50s°F (10-15°C) and gusts up to 30 mph on Saturday. Frost and freeze conditions are likely in suburban areas on Sunday morning, potentially impacting sensitive plants and outdoor activities.
