This could allow daytime highs to become somewhat closer to mixed out low level thickness values unless some high clouds move overhead.

The weather pattern cycle then repeats for Thursday into Friday. Downslope effects warm temperatures well above normal for Thursday with next cold front sinking southward Thursday night. Cooler temperatures will follow for Friday and extend through the weekend. Long range models are highlighting another reinforcing push of shallow cold air arriving for Saturday night into Sunday.
