Morning Showers, Turning Much Colder

It's been a wet morning thus far, and additional showers will be possible through 10 a.m. The band of rain is associated with an eastward moving cold front that is currently just to our northwest. It appears that clouds will be tough to break for much of the day. With weak cold air advection behind the front and clouds hanging tough, highs today will be rather chilly. In fact, the temperature this morning will actually be warmer than it will be this afternoon. Look for temperatures to drop to near 50 late this morning, and then briefly spike rise to 52 late this afternoon. Northwest winds gusting over 20 mph at times will make temperatures feel even colder today. By this evening, skies should become mostly clear and winds will begin to subside due to decoupling and a lessening pressure gradient. As a result, lows tomorrow morning will be near 36. An active weather pattern will setup this week thanks to a subtropical jet stream. Tomorrow should be dry, but rain will return early Wednesday morning as an area of low pressure moves out of the Gulf of Mexico. In the wake of the midweek system, much colder air will grip the region Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. In fact, highs one of those days may not break 45!
