Tracking warm air ahead of a late-week cooldown

TODAY: Tuesday is warm and sunny, with light south winds through the morning becoming variable by the afternoon. High temperatures are forecast in the 60s.

TONIGHT: The wind field intensifies enough overnight to return a light south breeze. This is in response to a stronger area of low pressure sliding in from the northwest. Temperatures will likely remain in the 40s overnight because of this.

EXTENDED: The cold front associated with this low will slide through early on Wednesday, bringing north winds of 10-20 mph through the day. Winds may gust to 25-30 mph through the afternoon. No rain is forecast, but clouds will be present in the morning near the cold front. Overall, Wednesday is shaping up to be mostly sunny. Highs may still reach the low 60s in the afternoon sun. Cooler air continues to pool into the region into the weekend. Highs are expected in the 40s Thursday through Saturday, with the coldest temperatures coming early Saturday morning, when temperatures fall into the mid-20s.
