WARMER AND WET BY MID-WEEK

Rain will also move back in on Thursday, lingering through next weekend. As of now, it looks like the coldest air of the season could move into our area next Sunday! Highs are going to struggle to stay in the upper 30’s!

SUNDAY NIGHT: Gusty winds and cloudy skies will persist overnight tonight. Temperatures will drop down into the middle and upper 30’s, with our rain chances remaining at 0%. Winds will vary between 8 and 12 MPH.

MONDAY: It is going to be a cold and cloudy start to our work week. Highs on Monday will reach the middle 40’s, but thanks to gusty winds out of the northwest, its going to feel like we’re in the lower 40’s and upper 30’s all day! Thankfully, we will have no rain to worry about on Monday. We could sneak in a few peaks of sunshine during the afternoon hours on Monday. Overnight, lows are going to drop down into the upper 20’s and lower 30’s across the region.
