Morning Update: A Temperate Tuesday

Today: As has been a common theme recently, temperatures will be chilly in the morning, starting out in the low 40s when you wake up. Skies will be mostly cloudy with a slight chance for rain in the morning, then they will clear in the afternoon. Sunny skies will bring temperatures at or around 60 degrees by mid-afternoon, so it should be a pleasant overall. Winds will be consistently light, between 5 and 10 mph, with gusts around 15 mph.

Tonight: After the sun sets, it will get a lot colder tonight, with a low near freezing. Winds will remain around the same as they were during the day then fade off after midnight. Skies will be clear as a weak high pressure system rolls through from Tuesday to Wednesday.

Tomorrow: A sunny and pleasant day will be in store for us tomorrow, with highs in the low 60s. Again with a chilly start as temperatures may be below freezing overnight on Tuesday. The wind may be a bit of a factor, as it may gust up to 20 mph. There will be a slight chance for rain in the evening, and temperature will not drop as severely as they will today overnight, with low around 50 degrees.

A Look Ahead: Our up-and-down winter will continue, with a warm front moving in Thursday bringing a high of nearly 70, and then temperatures cooling back to the 40s with a cold wind on Friday and a significant chance for rain throughout the day. There is a chance for rain on Thursday as well both during the day and at night, but not as great a chance as Friday. The weather for both days of the weekend is nearly identical, with sunny skies, highs near 50, and lows near or slightly below freezing. This average weather will most likely continue into the start of the week next week.
