Discussion
A strong cold front will cross the region tonight and end our recent round of warmer-than-normal weather conditions. Showers are likely to accompany the frontal passage from late today through late tonight and there can be a thunderstorm mixed in as well, but winds will become the biggest factor associated with this big transition in temperatures. In fact, winds should gust past 40 mph on Saturday – not a good time to rake leaves – and it’ll stay breezy on Sunday, but nothing like what is coming tomorrow. Afternoon temperatures this weekend will generally be confined to the 50s which is quite a reversal from the 80’s earlier in the week. After a pleasantly cool start to the new week on Monday, a reinforcing shot of chilly air will arrive for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
