Click for 7 Day Forecast A cold front moving through Thursday will create areas of wind, rain showers, and cooler temperatures than we enjoyed Wednesday. A couple of quiet days will follow, but the temperatures will vary greatly from one to the next.

As an upper-level trough and associated cold front move across the area through the middle of the day, temperatures will peak early in the 50s to around 60°.

Winds will be gusty at times through this afternoon and early this evening. Scattered rain showers will move along the and behind the cold front.

After the front moves through this afternoon, both the wind and the chances of rain will decrease.

Friday looks pleasant, with highs mainly in the 50s and mostly sunny.

If you liked Wednesday, Saturday holds its own. Highs will return to the upper 60s and 70s with sunshine and just a few clouds.
