Tracking a breezy and cooler Thursday behind a cold front

TONIGHT: Mostly clear and chilly with lows in the upper 30s to around 40.

TOMORROW: Mostly sunny and breezy with highs in the upper 40s.

EXTENDED: I'm tracking a strong low pressure system centered to our northeast that continues to pull a cold front through the area as well as strong winds that will begin to shift northwest overnight. As winds die down, temperatures eventually catch up to the front, dropping into the upper 30s to around 40 by daybreak Thursday. A much cooler air mass settles in behind the front, with high temperatures only making the upper 40s on Thursday. Friday and Saturday will be the coolest days of the week with high pressure in place that will keep skies clear. It will be chillier than normal with morning lows near the freezing mark on Friday, marking the end to the growing season as we'll have a hard freeze area wide. Friday will be in the mid-40s with cold overnight lows in the low to mid-20s on Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon will be bright but chilly with highs in the upper 40s. A disturbance to our south will bring some cloud cover on Sunday, but very little precipitation. Cloud cover will keep highs near 50 during the day. Upper winds begin to shift early next week, bringing temperatures back to near 60 by mid-week with late week rain chances back in the forecast.
