Wind Driven Warmth this Week

Winds are not expected to be overly strong this week, but wind gusts topping 30 mph are certainly possible, especially on Wednesday.  The direction of the wind makes a big difference in temperatures this time of the year.  Southwest winds will help pull warmth from the south, warming temperatures into the low to mid 70's through the end of the week.


Several low pressure systems will ride along the US/Canadian border this week, while high pressure sits over the southeast.  The difference in pressure between the two will cause winds to become gusty at times.  Southwest winds will last until a cold front moves through Saturday night.  Cooler air does settle in behind the front with temperatures falling below average into next week.
