Cool, Damp

Other than a few lingering showers across the eastern part of the county, all other areas are dry. These showers should exit to the east shortly, and we'll remain relatively dry for the remaining daylight hours, although, there may be some drizzle. Temperatures won't rise much today with highs topping out near 51, and temperatures may actually begin to drop slowly after noon as a colder air mass begins to move in. A tight pressure gradient will ensure a breezy day with gusts up to 25 mph. The upper level energy will rotate through tonight, so there will likely be some additional showers between 7 p.m. and midnight. Strong west northwest winds will create very window conditions after midnight with some gusts up to 30 mph. Lows tomorrow morning will be near 39.

Saturday will be cold with morning drizzle and highs in the low to mid 40s. We may finally see the sunshine return Sunday afternoon with highs in the mid to upper 40s. Temperatures will warm up briefly Monday and Tuesday ahead our next storm system. An glancing blow from an arctic air mass arrives by Wednesday and will result in temperatures below normal for the remainder of the work week.
