Lows will fall into the mid 40s to kick?
"*off another breezy, and potentially rainy, day for wednesday.
Rain chances through wednesday remain on the isolated side but overcast skies will remain dominant with little sunshine sneaking through.
High temps through wednesday will remain in the 60s, but another strong cold front passing through the day will deliver our next burst of cold air.
Highs will fall into the upper 40s for both thursday and friday with overnight lows falling near and below the freezing mark.
There looks to be a small chance for the first flurries of the season to move in during the nighttime hours of friday through monday, but the chances remain low at this time.
Below normal temps will stick with us through the weekend and into the next work week.

Kimt news 3's mary peters joins us live with a look at the effort underway.
George & the goal here is to clear a lot of buckthorn from the park.
Buckthorn is an invasive species and can impact the plants and animals that inhabit the area.
Kids are able to make some money through the cares act, while clearing the plants.
Multiple groups are contributing to this effort & including the leadership through basketball organization..
Its founder says it's also a good life skill for his kids &.
A little bit of labor is good for young people.
Um & i hope they would like gain an appreciation for nature and the parks.
And also have the opportunity to be able to pay for things like their first car or even their driver's license training.
I am told about four acres have been cleared already.
Live in rochester ... mary peters ... kimt news three.
Groups will be working on this project through november twelfth.
