Starting with today...although we will start out with plentiful cloud cover...skies will steadily clear from west to east with time...paving the way for a sunny afternoon. It will be plenty breezy...however...with northwesterly winds commonly gusting 20 to 30 MPH. Tonight...skies remain mostly clear and winds lighten up...allowing temperatures to fall well down into the upper 30s to lower 40s range...making this one of the chillier nights we will have for a while. Turning to Friday...most of the day will be dry and partly cloudy as southerly winds boost high temperatures a bit into the upper 60s and lower 70s. However...by Friday evening and into the overnight hours chances for thunderstorms return to the area...a few of which could again be severe. In fact...our overall-active weather pattern will continue beyond that...with severe storms again possible next Monday. $$
