The weather the first half of the week stays winter like (but without additional snow), but warms up to mid-50s by the end of the week. After two weeks of disrupted school schedules, it’s a more normal week this week. Although watch for closures of government offices, banks, and other locations on Tuesday for Veterans Day.
