According to the National Weather Service, the city today will see sunny skies with daytime highs reaching near 33 degrees. While calm winds are forecasted to become north-northwest at 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon, the morning cold has firmly set an icy hand upon the region with a biting wind chill factoring down to 8°F.
Stargazers can look forward to mostly clear skies in the evening as temperatures are slated to dip around 13 degrees; a west-southwest wind at around 5 mph is expected to swiftly become more light and variable at night. Thursday will continue in the vein of sunny reprieve, with the mercury slated to ascend slightly higher, reaching a high near 34 degrees. While the calm of the morning promises tranquility, the wind is forecasted to pick up and become northwest around 5 mph by afternoon.
The latter part of the week sees a shift as skies tilt towards overcast. Friday's outlook is more cloud-heavy, with highs near a warmer 41 degrees and southeast winds at around 6 mph eventually becoming gentle and variable.
