FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Good Thursday Evening,
After a bitterly cold day, with temps in the 20s, and chills in the lower teens, we will see the winds slowly relaxing tonight, meaning that even with a temp drop, wind chills will remain steady the rest of the night. Lows tonight will drop to the upper teens, with wind chills in the lower teens.
Friday expect clearing skies, with some clouds remaining, and highs near freezing. We will see numbers recover back to the upper 30s to near 40 with more sunshine on Saturday. Sunday will start off bright, with clouds increasing, along with a southerly flow, and temps near 50. Rain will move in overnight into Monday, with a warm and mild day expected as temps will start to climb before sunrise. We will push into the low to mid 50s with a wet day expected.
Rain showers will continue into Tuesday with highs in the lower 50s. As the cold front pushes east, we will see precipitation changing over to light snow showers for Wednesday with breezy and cool conditions and highs in the middle 30s. Once the system departs, temps will remain cool for Thursday with a mix of clouds and some sun, and highs in the mid 30s.
