Mostly clear skies follow Sunday evening, allowing temperatures to fall near 35 degrees by Monday morning.
Patchy frost could develop after 3 a.m.
Monday, Nov. 9, begins with another possibility of frost before 7 a.m., followed by sunshine and temperatures near 58 degrees.
Tuesday brings even warmer conditions.
