Discussion
A cold frontal system passed through the region last night and the low-level wind flow has flipped as a result from a south-to-southwest direction to east-to-northeast. This change in winds will bring about much cooler conditions around here and there can be light rain or drizzle at times right into the overnight hours. The front pushes back to the north on Friday and it should become noticeably milder around here and the weekend starts off quite warm as well with Saturday afternoon highs near the 80 degree mark. The next cold front arrives on Easter Sunday and occasional showers are likely mainly during the morning and mid-day hours. It turns colder on Sunday night following the passage of the cold front with overnight low temperatures likely in the 30’s to start off the new work week.
