Discussion
A strong cold front crossed the region yesterday and ushered in a cold air mass for this time of year, but temperatures will moderate tomorrow ahead of another strong cold frontal system. Showers are likely by tomorrow night as that next front arrives and winds will pick up noticeably by early Sunday. A very windy and cold day is in store for the region on Sunday with gusts to 45 mph and while Monday will remain on the cold side, the winds will be much calmer to start the new (short) work week. All in all, next week looks to be cold and dry with cold, breezy conditions expected on Turkey Day.
