Today will be a very mild day as the warm front that caused the rain last night has moved to our north and we will have a southwest flow ahead of a cold front that will come through this evening. Most high temperatures will be in the low 60s. There is a chance of showers but most of the day will be dry with even some breaks of sunshine.
Much colder and windy for Thanksgiving Day and Friday as a storm will be over eastern parts of Canada and high pressure building from the west. The pressure gradient will cause gusts to 35 mph on Thanksgiving and even higher winds on Friday with peak gusts to 45 mph. Both days will be partly to mostly sunny.
Still breezy and dry on Saturday with continued chilly temperatures as the high pressure builds closer to our area.
Milder on Sunday with less wind but a frontal system may give us some rain in the afternoon and evening.
Unsettled weather with a chance of rain on Monday as the frontal system will be in our area.
On Tuesday a low pressure may develop to our south giving us a chance of rain with possible snow inland.
