Discussion
Following the passage of a strong cold front, today will turn out much colder than yesterday and there will be a stiff N-NW wind developing that can gust to 30 mph or so. The chilly air mass will stick around on Tuesday though the winds will slacken off and then high pressure brings us milder temperatures at mid-week. Another frontal system will likely bring us more unsettled weather later into the week with more chilly air to follow as we end the week and begin the upcoming weekend.
