Gino Recchia NBC26 Storm Shield Weather Forecast

We have more sunshine on the way today with a strong high-pressure taking control of the eastern half of the country. Temperatures will be warmer today as well. We are expected to top off in the mid and upper 50s thanks to a southwest wind. It will be breezy though with sustained winds around 10 to 20 mph with gusts near 25 mph at times.   Clouds are going to thicken tonight because we have some rain moving in by the early morning. Overnight lows will be in the mid and lower 40s.   There is a low-pressure tracking across Southern Canada right now and a cold front will pass through our area tomorrow morning. Along and ahead of this cold front, we will see the rainfall which will continue into the afternoon. Rainfall amounts will range from a trace to a quarter of an inch. Temperatures will reach into the mid 50s but it will once again be windy, 10-20 mph sustained winds with gusts near 30 at times.   Friday night, behind the cold front, temperatures will drop into the mid and upper 30s with still a few isolated showers. There is a second cold front that will push through Saturday, keeping the risk of rain and also bringing cooler air. Highs will be in the mid 40s. Sunday will be the better of the two days, mostly sunny skies return with highs in the lower to mid 40s.
