FORECAST IN DETAIL Our descent into winter continues in a mainly peaceful manner this weekend. Sunshine wins out today, and clouds increase tomorrow. We could even see a little wintry precipitation in the region Sunday night. If that happens, it’s of that conversational variety, which means it’s only something to talk about and doesn’t cause problems. It’s unsettled as the work week gets underway. Today (Saturday): It’s a lot like yesterday, but probably sunnier overall across the area. The main issue to deal with is wind. Wind may actually be a touch stronger than it was on Friday, at least at peak. We’re talking 15 to 20 mph sustained during the midday into afternoon with higher gusts. Those winds make temperatures that rise within a few degrees of 50 feel cooler than they are, especially in the shade. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: Mostly clear skies continue into the night. Winds should more noticeably calm as well, especially by late evening into the overnight. With less in the way of air mixing going on, temperatures head downward easier than recent nights. Cold spots end up near 30, many folks are near freezing, and downtown is probably mid-to-upper-30s. Breezes around 10 mph early diminish to light by dawn. Confidence: Medium-High |
