Discussion

Strong high pressure centered nearby will stay in control of our weather during the next couple of days with a chilly air mass remaining in place. Temperatures will be stay below-normal today with afternoon highs likely in the upper 50’s and overnight lows should be near 40 degrees many suburbs. It turns a bit milder on Friday and the weekend is looking quite comfortable with sunshine expected on both days. One final note, the comet will remain visible in the western sky during each of the next few evenings assuming favorable sky conditions and a “dark enough” environment...look to the west about 45 minutes after sunset and binoculars are recommended.
