Warming Up

After a frigid morning low of 13, temperatures are quickly rising into the upper teens. Skies should be sunny for the majority of the day as northwesterly flow aloft and surface ridging dominate. This will allow temperatures to rebound nicely this afternoon with highs around 44. Westerly winds may be breezy at times this afternoon with gusts in the upper teens. By this evening, an upper level shortwave and surface cold front will be approaching from the north. In advance of this system, a few high clouds will pass through, but I don't expect any precipitation since the air is extremely dry. Some lower clouds may develop after the front passes through the area around 3 a.m. Lows tomorrow morning will be around 24.
