Sunshine And Windy This Afternoon And Evening

Welcome in to a sunny but windy afternoon. A wind advisory will continue until 4 pm. Winds will calm some into the evening and skies will remain mostly clear into the evening and overnight. We’ll stay rain free through early Wednesday before the scattered showers return. Storms will enter the picture late Wednesday and the weather will get active from late Wednesday and again on Thursday so stay weather aware both days.

TODAY:

Dry air is on its way in behind the cold front and will dry us out quickly after the rain. A tight pressure gradient between the high pressure moving in and a strong upper low to the north will create conditions for gusty winds under the sunshine. Winds may gust as high as 45 mph.

TONIGHT:

Skies will remain mostly clear overnight with winds relaxing some as high pressure settles in. Overnight lows around 45 and light WSW winds around 4 to 8 mph.

TOMORROW:

We’ll be a little cooler in the morning but temperatures will rebound to the lower 70’s in the afternoon under mostly sunny skies and west winds around 5 to 10 mph.

REST OF THE WEEK:

Clouds will increase late Tomorrow with scattered showers entering the picture by late morning Wednesday. Storms will move in late Wednesday and again late Thursday.

Some storms could be strong to severe both days. Stay weather aware. Showers will taper off Friday morning. Friday afternoon into the weekend look to be mostly dry and cooler as temperatures return to the upper 50’s to lower 60’s.
