Wx Shield

Good morning! We will have a cold front arriving late tonight into Friday morning.

Temperatures this morning will be in the mid 30s. We will have a partly to mostly cloudy sky. There could be a stray sprinkle. Winds will be from the south between five to ten mph.

This afternoon we will continue to see a partly to mostly cloudy sky. If we end up with more sunshine, expect temperatures to soar into the 70s. If we see more cloud coverage, we will have high temperatures in the 60s. Winds will be from the southwest between ten to fifteen mph. This will usher in the milder air ahead of the front. We could also see a few showers.

Tonight showers turn into some storms and even a steady rainfall into Friday morning. Watch for ponding on the roadways. Temperatures tonight will be in the upper 40s. Winds will be from the west between ten to fifteen mph.

Have a great day!
