Discussion              

It turns much milder today with afternoon temperatures peaking in the middle 50’s.  Showers will be possible by later today and likely tonight along with breezy conditions. Temperatures will climb to even higher levels on Saturday just ahead of an incoming strong cold front perhaps reaching the 70 degree mark. There will be occasional showers on Saturday and Saturday night to go along with those unseasonably warm conditions and perhaps even a thunderstorm. The biggest factor on Saturday and Saturday night will likely be the winds with gusts to 40+ mph on the table. Despite some sunshine, it’ll be noticeably cooler on Sunday following the passage of the strong cold front with temperatures nearly 20 degrees lower than Saturday and there will be a stiff NW wind as well.
