Gusty northerly winds are sending in much cooler air which will stick around the next couple days with afternoon temperatures only reaching into the 50s and nights in the 30s to low 40s. As the winds relax Tuesday night, coupled with clear skies and a cold air mass overhead, lows will drop to freezing in many of our inland areas for early Wednesday morning. Winds will shift to the southeast and we'll warm into the 60s to lower 70s Thursday and Friday. Our next cold front moves through Friday afternoon but is weak and will bring a chance of showers with only slightly cooler temperatures. The weekend looks sunny with cool nights and mild days, leading to a warming trend for Christmas week.
