The biggest weather story over our area for the next 36-48 hours will be the mild temps and the increasing southerly winds.

Sustained winds will peak from midnight Thursday to noon Friday; thereafter, they will switch to the west and begin to abate for Friday night and Saturday, before picking back up somewhat for Sunday.
Winds of up to 50mph will be possible for the city and points east for late Thursday into Friday midday. Areas away from the coast will see lesser wind speeds, but it will be very breezy in most places.
The timing of the strongest winds may hamper the morning commute for Friday, but widespread problems are not anticipated.
A shot of rainfall in the form of intermittent heavy showers is likely with the passage of the strongest winds from 12am Friday to 12pm Friday before things dry out. Most places near the coast will see no more than 0.25 of rainfall; some higher amounts are possible away from the coast – something we’ve grown accustomed to over the last few months.
A punch of cooler air will be noticeable by Sunday, as winds increase again. This time, the northwest flow will knock down our temps starting Saturday evening, with readings holding steady in the low 50s for Sunday.
But In this progressive pattern, colder air cannot hold for long. Temps should rebound to near normal levels by Tuesday of next week.
