Brisk & breezy this afternoon as drier air mixes in behind the cold front departing eastward. Highs today reach the low 60s but breezy conditions make it feel much cooler despite the sun/cloud mix. Overnight temps will fall into the mid 40s but breezy conditions will bring the wind chill down into the mid/upper 30s. High pressure will keep our weekend forecast dry & blustery tonight through much of the day Saturday. Otherwise, we'll see partly cloudy skies with temps reaching the low/mid 60s again. Another cool night is on tap Saturday night with lows in the mid 40s. Sunday will be warmer with some sun but then another weak disturbance brings rain Sunday night/Monday. I think we'll have ample opportunity to get out and enjoy some fall weather this weekend but long sleeves & a jacket are recommended. A stronger front will bring more unsettled weather Tuesday through Thursday. With that, we'll likely see more strong winds, some thunder along with a healthy dose of rain. On the backside of that system, cold air will set us up for snow/mixed precip especially in the mountains...more on that later! Have a great weekend and thanks for reading.
