A
cold front that sits to our west is the story for today as this frontal boundary will usher in cooler weather as it slides
through the Stateline. There was a few showers that formed ahead of the front overnight and tracked through this morning. However, not everyone walked outside and saw rain. If you live along and north of
Highway 20, you likely didn’t see much of anything in terms of rain. A
few spotty showers or patches of drizzle cannot be entirely ruled out
ahead of the cold frontal passage, but most areas will remain dry.
Gusty southwesterly winds and cloud cover held temperatures this morning in the 60s.
Temperatures this afternoon will still be able to warm up into the mid 70s, because it might take a bit of time before the cold air behind the front settles in. The cold
front slides through by around midday, turning winds from the southwest to out of the
northwest. Winds could again become gusty today, especially during the afternoon. Just like yesterday, winds could top out around 25 to 30
mph, so make sure your grip on the steering
wheel is tight.
Skies will turn partly sunny through the afternoon as some clouds look to build in from the leftover
moisture aloft in the atmosphere. A surface high pressure system to the west will keep things dry overnight tonight. Most of the night will remain partly cloudy. However, hi-res models do show a weak disturbance moving in by tomorrow morning. This could add in some more cloud cover as you plan and start your day tomorrow. Under clear skies and light winds, temperatures by Thursday morning will rapidly fall or as we refer to it as "bottoming out" into the upper 40s - low 50s. Which is right around where we should be as far as our average lows for this time of the year. The cool start to Thursday gives you a little hint on how the rest of the day looks to shape up. Highs tomorrow only climb into the upper 60s. While hitting
70° isn’t entirely out of the question, it looks like most areas will
spend the better part of the day in the 60’s.
