Discussion
A strong cold front will cross the region today and winds will pick up quite noticeably during the afternoon and early evening hours from a W-NW direction. Temperatures will climb into the mid-to-upper 50’s before the colder air arrives, but will then drop into the mid 30's by early tomorrow morning. After a cold day to end the work week, temperatures will rebound on Saturday ahead of the next Arctic front which will usher in another cold air mass for this time of year. The second half of the weekend will be cold and windy and it looks like Thanksgiving week will be mainly on the chilly side.
