Widespread frost is then expected Thursday night/Friday morning as lows are going to be in the mid to upper 20s and low to mid 30s in a lot of locations, and this frost will likely bring an end to the growing season for many locations.

Lots of sunshine and dry conditions are then expected this weekend, and mostly sunny skies and dry conditions are expected on Monday as an upper-level ridge is going to be in control of our weather.
