Sunny, Still Pleasant

It's another very crisp, pleasant morning, but wind speeds never went calm so temperatures are a few degrees warmer than yesterday morning. The main weather features impacting our weather include an upper air ridge entrenched across the Great Plains, a strong high pressure area located near the Delmarva, and a tropical disturbance moving through the Bahamas. These three features will keep us dry today, but the building ridge to our west will allow for warmer temperatures this afternoon. Temperatures will remain below normal again today, but we should top out near 78 later today. A persistent northeast wind generated by the aforementioned surface high and surface low will continue to keep us cool at night. However, model soundings do show the possibility of a few low clouds developing early tomorrow morning and winds blowing the entire night. With this in mind, I'll hedge above guidance and forecast a low of 54 tomorrow morning.
