Sunny, Breezy, & Cool

It's very chilly this morning with temperatures running in the lower 30s, but gusty northwest winds are making the temperature feel much colder. A strong surface high to our west will dominate our weather over the next 24-48 hours. A deepening upper air trough over the northeast U.S. will provide a reinforcing shot of Canadian air today. Despite full sunshine today, highs will only manage to top out near 45. Additionally, wind gusts in the upper teens will cause temperatures to feel 5-10 degrees colder at times today. By this evening, winds will begin to subside, and with clear skies, temperatures should quickly drop. The only negative factor for ideal radiational cooling will be the development of a few low clouds after 2 a.m. Still, lows tomorrow morning will be near 26.
