Tracking sunshine and milder temperatures midweek
THIS AFTERNOON: Mild and mostly sunny, with highs climbing into the low 40s. Winds from the southwest will be between 5 and 10 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph.
TONIGHT: A cold front will clip the region tonight, bringing a brief round of clouds. Temperatures drop to the upper 20s and low 30s.
EXTENDED: Wednesday remains sunny and mild in the low 40s with a southerly breeze, but Thursday is a bit cooler in the mid-30s following a cold front in the early morning. A stronger cold front will move in on Friday, dropping temperatures into the teens during the day. A string of ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Days goes into effect from Friday morning through Sunday morning as wind chills drop below zero for several days. Saturday morning will likely be the worst, sitting below -10 degrees. There are also chances for snow on Friday and Saturday, but a wide range of possibilities exists in the forecast. We may see measurable snow or nothing at all. If the forecast takes a northerly, colder track, we could see snow by midday Friday, lasting through Saturday night, with the highest totals south of Hwy 50. Many changes are expected, but start planning and prepping now if you have plans to travel this weekend.
