Hold on to your Shillelaghs! Gusty winds settle in for PaddyFest

Thankfully, the Stateline didn't have to deal with the potential for severe weather after such a soggy and gloomy start to our Thursday.

In even better news, yesterday's active weather isn't expected to carry on into our Friday. High pressure sliding in will allow sunshine to make a quick return to round out the work week. Even with a cool northwesterly wind in place, expect temperatures to peak in the low to mid 50s. 

Winds become the big story for Saturday. A cold front sliding in from the northwest will tighten the pressure at the surface, allowing winds to increase. 

Between 10AM-5PM, west-northwest winds could gust up to 30-35 mph at times. If you have Paddyfest on your schedule for tomorrow, make sure to hold on to any St. Patty's day decor!

Cloud cover will also increase early on, leaving skies partly to mostly cloudy for the afternoon. Despite the the additional cloud cover and wind change, highs should still peak in the upper 50s. 

Temperatures will then take a tumble for St. Patty's Day itself, leaving highs in the low 40s. A disturbance shifting through late Sunday into early Monday may have enough lift for a flurry or snow shower. An area of high pressure to the west will then dry our weather pattern out for the start of next week!
