A COLD FRONT HAS MOVED THROUGH THE AREA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON,
BRINGING GUSTY NORTH WINDS, AND COOLER TEMPERATURES INTO THE AREA.
HIGHS WILL LIKELY TOP OUT ONLY A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN CURRENT
TEMPERATURES AS COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT FIGHTS WARMING
FROM FULL SUNSHINE. TONIGHT, BEHIND THE COLD FRONT, WINDS WILL
DIMINISH TO AROUND 5 MPH OR LESS, AND SKIES WILL REMAIN MOSTLY
CLEAR. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO DROP INTO THE UPPER 20S TO
LOWER 30S ACROSS THE AREA. FOR SUNDAY, WINDS WILL TURN TO EASTERLY
BETWEEN 5 AND 10 MPH. WHILE WE WILL BE MOSTLY SUNNY, WE WILL STILL
BE WITHIN THE COOL AIR MASS BEHIND TODAY'S FRONT, KEEPING HIGHS IN
THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S.
