Today will be a mostly sunny day and windy, but the winds will not be a strong as yesterday as the low pressure over eastern Canada combines with high pressure to our west to give us a westerly flow of chilly air. Wind gusts to 35 mph.
Another mostly sunny day on Tuesday with diminishing winds. A weak low pressure will move to our south giving us a slight chance of rain Tuesday night that may be mixed with snow inland.
Mainly dry and cool Wednesday and Thursday with light winds as high pressure builds closer to our area.
A frontal system on Friday will likely give us some rain along with slightly milder temperatures.
At this point the weekend looks to be mainly dry with temperatures a little above normal.
