Forecast: Mild with a.m. showers and p.m. wind, then trending colder into the weekend
Grab a raincoat this morning, but one which also breaks the wind for you this afternoon as we dry out. While it won’t be a true wind chill, temperatures will be falling through the 50s, as winds really gust. Breezes slowly diminish into tomorrow, when we can still expect somewhat mild temperatures. It isn’t until Sunday when January returns with some 40s. Other than today’s rain and perhaps a flake or two on Sunday, we appear to be entering a pretty dry period. Want warmth back? Just hang on for the 50s to return as we get into the work week.
