Winds Whip Up Sunday Night

Temperatures over the weekend warmed into the mid and upper 50's, but the warmth will soon be coming to an end this week.


A strong area of low pressure developing over the northern Rockies will quickly race east Sunday night and Monday morning.  As it does winds are expected to increase from the south, gusting as high as 30 mph, during the overnight Sunday.  This will help keep temperatures in the upper 40's and low 50's through Monday morning!


South winds will continue Monday, but are expected to increase as low pressure moves further east into Canada.  Rain showers will also be likely Monday morning, and then again Monday afternoon and evening.  There could even be a few cracks of thunder.


Winds will also be increasing Monday afternoon and evening, especially with the arrival of a cold front.  Severe weather is not expected, but with such a strong wind field not that far above the surface, any strong or heavier rain shower Monday evening could help transport that wind down to the surface. 


Winds will then shift around to the west Monday night following the passage of the cold front, and remain gusty through Tuesday afternoon.  Wind gusts anywhere from 35mph-40mph will be possible Monday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon.
