Winds will be the breeziest during the afternoon and die down as we head into the evening. A Red Flag Warning is effective for Camden County until 6 PM tonight. Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
TONIGHT: Southerly winds up to 15 mph and partly cloudy skies will help temperatures remain in the 40s through the overnight hours with dry conditions. Areas west of Highway 63 could continue to see gusts up to 25 mph overnight.
EXTENDED: The warmth is short-lived, as a cold front will track through the region and knock our temperatures into the lower 50s on Tuesday. The coldest air associated with the cold front will be slow to arrive, but by Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning it will arrive with a vengeance. After several mornings in the 30s and 40s, we’ll see our overnight low fall into the lower 20s for Wednesday and Thursday morning. Wind chill values will likely be in the upper teens Wednesday morning, with actual highs topping out in the lower 40s for the afternoon. By Thanksgiving, we remain seasonable with highs in the 50s and plenty of sunshine. Sunshine will persist through the week, with no rain expected in the next seven days.
