Storm Team Wednesday evening forecast (10/23/2013)

The first cold front has moved through and swept most cloud cover aside, leaving us with abundant sunshine and a northerly breeze.  These features, plus very dry air, will establish the setting for a chilly overnight period with some of the coldest readings since last May.  Winds will relax a bit, but temperatures will still fall well into the low and mid 40s away from the coast with a clear sky.  We’ll maintain high amounts of sunshine Thursday which will warm afternoon temps into the 70s.  However, a second cold front will be approaching late tomorrow night; there’s not enough moisture to warrant a rain chance, but continued north winds will usher in another dose of cold air, and temperatures will remain below average through the weekend.
