As this system creeps along, expect temps to continue to climb with brief moments of cooling. Friday is looking particularly cranky as the last of this system moves along. Expect Strong gusty winds as this disturbance passes through. Thursday Night: Sky Cover: CloudyFreezing Elevation: 7,000’12hr Precip: Trace amounts possibleWind Trends: Light WSW with Moderate 35mph gustsFriday: Sky Cover: Partly cloudyFreezing Elevation: 6,500’12hr Precip: Trace amounts possibleWind Trends: Strong to extreme SW, 50mph gustsFriday Night: Sky Cover: Mostly cloudyFreezing Elevation: 8,000’12hr Precip: NoneWind Trends: Light, WestOutlook: This weekend we will see a return of the sun and mostly clear skies. Winds should be relatively calm, and the freezing line will continue to climb, peaking around 9,000’. Unlike our last high-pressure spell, this warm-up will not have a inversion so temps will be quite warm in the lower area. Slush bumps are definitely on the menu for the weekend!
