Afternoon Clouds, Continued Cold

Skies cleared even faster than I imagined, and not surprisingly, temperatures are in the lower 20s this morning. An arctic high over the northern Plains will cause northwest surface winds across the area, which will lead to another chilly day. With strong surface heating and cold air aloft, we'll likely see some cumulus clouds develop late this morning and afternoon. Despite this, highs should be able to top out around 45. Winds will remain breezy today with wind chills remaining in the 30s for most of the day. Light winds and clear skies will support strong radiational cooling conditions overnight. Lows tomorrow morning will be around 25.
