Windy and much colder weather overnight before gradually warming back up

What We’re Tracking

Strong northerly wind tonight

Sunny, chilly Wednesday

Warming back up quickly this week

Behind our cold front, winds could gust out of the north around 40-45mph bringing in much colder temperatures. We could also see a brief period of rain changing to snow later this evening tapering off well before sunrise Wednesday.

We’ll be much colder for midweek with temperatures waking up Wednesday in the teens and lower 20s. Morning wind chills should be in the single digits, possibly near or below zero in the northern counties by early Wednesday. Highs try to rebound into the upper 30s and low 40s for Wednesday afternoon.

The good news with this taste of winter is that it’s really brief. By Thursday, we’re already back in the middle 50s. Winds remain gusty through most of this week, though, but that will ultimately help with our quick warm-up after the cold front. By the weekend, highs will be back up in the middle to upper 70s, and we may even have a chance for thunderstorms by late Sunday evening!
