Michael Fish's NBC26 Storm Shield weather forecast

A strengthening low pressure and cold front will be affecting the areas through the day today. Showers and thunderstorms will occasionally be rolling through the area. If there are any breaks in the clouds, this could allow enough heating where any storm that would develop could bring some gusty wind or  locally heavy rainfall. Highs today will pop up to around 70, though cooler readings north. Tonight, the cold front should be taking any lingering evening shower with it, but it's going to be windy out there. Temperatures will start to drop quickly as the night goes on down into the lower-40s to upper-30s. Much colder and windy weather returns on Thursday with highs only in the mid- to upper-40s. Basically, Thursday's going to look and feel a lot more like the middle of Fall. Thursday night will bring some cold temperatures with the wind dying down. Lows will bottom out around the freezing mark. Friday will also be cool, but we'll have less wind with highs in the mid-40s. The weekend will be on the cool side with a chance of some rain on Saturday night into Sunday morning.
