Cooler and Breezy

The sun has finally made a return appearance this morning now that most folks have to return to work or school. The surface storm system that brought us the windy and stormy conditions yesterday is exiting to the east, but its upper level counterpart is still located to our north. This should not have a noticeable impact on sensible weather today, but the cooler air mass that filtered into the state in the wake of yesterday's frontal passage will allow for more seasonable temperatures this afternoon. Mostly sunny skies should allow for highs to top out around 55 today. It will also be windy as a tight pressure gradient remains in place, and winds could gust as high as 30 mph at times this afternoon. The aforementioned upper level disturbance will move through the area tonight, and it will provide a reinforcing supply of cooler air. A few low clouds may accompany the disturbance, but the majority of the night will feature mostly clear skies. Also, winds will remain up through the night, which should inhibit ideal radiational cooling conditions. Still, it will be chilly tomorrow morning with lows near 33.
