Cold high pressure will build in behind a strong cold front, expected to move through about 10 PM Friday night with an increase in winds from the NW and wind gusts to 35 mph.  Temperatures will drop close to and below 32º by morning in many areas.

As mentioned this morning, there have been some changes in the model forecasts for Saturday:

• QPF is lower than previously expected, about 0.5 inches of rain total by midnight.
• Cold air scours out most of the moisture more quickly.  Decreased chance of snow flurries tonight.
• Temperatures look to be colder than previously forecast, below 32º in many areas by daybreak.
• Less moisture post-frontal passage means sunshine early Saturday morning.
• Instability clouds move in after 12 noon, with sprinkles and possible snow flurries. Some sunny breaks also possible.
• High temp 48.3º sd 2.0º

There are differences in the models with the amount of clouds and possible showers/flurries on Saturday afternoon, but expect more clouds than sun in the afternoon.  Very windy!

Sunday will be milder. Some cloudiness very early, but clearing for sunshine most of the day.  Still a bit windy, with gusts to 19 mph.  High 61º sd 2.0º
