Windy few days lead into chilly weekend

 Our next widespread weather system will bypass us to the North Friday, with a strong wind to accompany it. Wind is caused by the differences between high and low pressure, and with a strong low pressure gliding just North of us that will bring a couple days of strong winds.

Starting with Thursday, Northwest winds could gust upwards of 20-30 mph with temperatures only reaching the mid-40s. Friday will start with a Southerly wind but will flip to the West as the pressure system slides past during the afternoon. Those winds could gust near 30-40 mph. Saturday will bring winds a touch weaker with incoming high pressure, but the gusts could reach 20-25 mph.

The weekend will be a chilly one compared to recent trends with temperatures in the 30s for highs and teens or 20s for lows. We will remain dry with high pressure gliding through, and we may even see more breaks in the clouds Sunday.

Next week could bring a stronger weather system our way for the middle of the week with an expansive low pressure center sliding across the Central U.S. Tuesday into Wednesday. This will bring widespread precipitation our way, including the potential for some thunder South of the low and snow North of it. Stay tuned as the exact track becomes more refined and the local forecast becomes clearer next week.
