Good morning, Lancaster County. Wednesday is bringing us a bright, sunny day with temps climbing to 53 - a good excuse to get outside before tonight's frost rolls in.

Here's what's going on around the county today and through the weekend.

In today's Lancaster Local:

Open Streets Lancaster is putting out the call for food trucks, local artists, and small business vendors to join their upcoming community event.

WEATHER

Wednesday, April 8 - Sunny skies and a high near 53 make for a genuinely pleasant mid-week day, so take a walk if you can swing it. Tonight though, bundle up - widespread frost is expected after 1:00 AM with lows dropping to around 29, so cover those plants before bed.
