The wind might be feeling a bit playful, starting from the south-southwest and then doing a little dance to the west later on, with gusts up to 23 mph.
As we head into the afternoon, those clouds are sticking around like a good friend, keeping us company as the temperature dips to around 37 degrees tonight. A gentle west wind at about 6 mph will be whispering through the trees, giving us that peaceful nighttime vibe. 🌙
Tomorrow, get ready to welcome back the sunshine, as those clouds take a little break and let the sun shine through. With a high near 52 degrees, it's shaping up to be a day where you'll want to soak up some of that vitamin D. Just a heads-up, the calm wind in the morning will pick up a bit, coming from the southwest at around 5 mph by the afternoon.
