Forecast Discussion:
Thursday started off with plenty of cloud cover thanks to an upper level
disturbance that moved in. Those clouds will stick around throughout Thursday
night and into Friday before a cold front passes through. The cold front looks
to be a quick moving front, passing through around late morning. Widespread
rain showers will be quick to follow, bringing us a brief shot of rain. Once
the rain moves out, high pressure will begin to build in overnight Friday and
into Saturday. We'll start off with breezy conditions while the high pressure
builds in, but once it settles in we'll begin to calm down and cooler, calmer
weather will take hold for the rest of Saturday and into Sunday, with
temperatures hovering around or below freezing during the nighttime hours. This
zone of high pressure begins to move off the coast on Sunday, and as a result
we'll see our winds turn out of the south. This, paired with plenty of
sunshine, will help our temperatures rebound into the upper 60's and possibly
even the lower 70's during the day on Sunday.
