Good Morning from KRBC Forecaster John Nolan...
* Much colder temperatures greet us this morning thanks to a strong cold front which moved through during the overnight and early morning hours. Mornings temperatures were running in the upper 20's behind the front. Gusty North winds were going between 20-30 mph with gusts up to 40mph. Wind chills are very cold, into the teens. We won't warm much today, expect highs near 39. Clouds should clear out later in the day.
* Winds will subside tonight allowing radiational cooling to take place. Expect very cold temperatures overnight, with lows in the upper teens to near 20 degrees. Winds will shift to the South which will allow our temperatures to rise back into the lower 50's for highs on Friday under mostly clear skies.
* Weekend: Partly cloudy for Saturday, warmer as well with highs in the mid to upper 50's. Another cold front works through the area on Sunday, bringing a slight chance for precipitation. Expect lows to be in the upper 20's and highs to be near 50 degrees.
* Next Week: We'll keep a slight chance for showers in the forecast for early Monday. Temperatures will hover around the 50 degree mark through mid-week, with overnight lows in the upper 20's and lower 30's.
