Reinforcing Shot of Cool, Dry Air

The cold front that swept through on Saturday provided a nice fall day yesterday. A secondary frontal boundary that is approaching northwest Mississippi will push through the area later this morning and will supply us with some cool and dry air. Winds will veer to the northwest and increase to between 10-15 mph and dew points will rapidly drop into the 50s by early this afternoon. No rain will occur today, but a few clouds will accompany the front this morning. Although the surface front will move through later this morning, the frontal boundary above the surface will lag behind until late this afternoon. This will keep low-level temperatures rather warm, and highs should be able to top out near 80. By this evening, skies will be clear and winds should begin to subside as the boundary layer decouples. Temperatures should rapidly drop into the 60s by 8 p.m. If the soils weren't completely saturated, I would feel confident that lows could easily drop into the 40s. However, I think this will probably keep low temperatures near 50 tomorrow morning.
