Discussion
A strong cold front passed through the region early yesterday and ushered in a cold air mass for the region and it’ll stay windy and colder-than-normal today. While it stays cold on Wednesday, the winds will be far less of a factor and it’ll feel less harsh as a result. Thanksgiving Day actually turns a bit milder with highs back up in the 50’s, but then the next strong cold front will usher in another cold air mass for Friday and winds will be quite strong once again as we end the work week.
