Discussion
A cold front passed through the region last night, but the air behind it will not be all that chilly for today. However, the winds will pick up noticeably today from a northwesterly direction and can gust to 30 mph or so. High pressure from our west will take control of the weather for later today, tonight and Thursday and then it will push offshore tomorrow night. A strong "clipper" low pressure system will then drop southeastward across the Great Lakes region likely resulting in some rain shower activity around here on Friday and Friday night. The weekend starts off on the chilly side, but a big warm up takes place early next week.
