Stormy Monday Awaits

Our warm and windy weekend will give way to a wet and stormy Monday. The rain showers will start early. Thunderstorms are a distinct possibility in the afternoon - some of them might be severe.  Today's winds were good for blowing the leaves and flying kites.

Windy Sunday

Fairly warm today with highs in the mid 60s. It may feel a bit cooler with the winds. Speaking of winds - From the NWS ...Windy conditions expected today...

A tight pressure gradient between an area of high pressure situated off of the East Coast and a low pressure system in south central Canada will allow for gusty south to southwest winds across the region today. This gradient will create strong southerly winds with sustained speeds of 20 to 30 mph and gusts up to 45 mph. These strong winds will continue into the early evening before diminishing.
