Discussion
After a very wet day on Wednesday, high pressure will try to take control today and it’ll become quite warm with afternoon temperatures reaching the 70 degree mark despite plenty of clouds. Low pressure will pass to our west on Friday and it’ll bring a cold front our way generating showers from later tonight into Friday and there can be a thunderstorm or two mixed into the picture. Winds will become very strong as well ahead of the frontal system and can gust to 50 mph early Friday. Behind the front, temperatures will remain quite mild, but they’ll drop some five-to-ten degrees between tomorrow afternoon and Saturday afternoon. Another system is likely to bring us more showers on Sunday and then cooler air moves in early next week.
