FORECAST
Heavy rain and strong-to-damaging winds are the primary threat of the line of storms tonight. The storms will develop west of the city and slide east through 9 p.m. this evening. Downed trees, tree limbs, isolated power outages and localized flooding are possible. There is a low risk of a brief tornado this evening. Storms will weaken after 10 p.m. and exit early Saturday morning.
Behind this storm lies the coldest air of the season so far, with plenty of sunshine and blustery winds. Frost and freeze alerts are likely over parts of the region this weekend. Daytime high temperatures will struggle to get to the mid-50s this weekend. A combination of a gusty northerly wind and a cold pocket of air will bring wind chills to the 40s on Saturday, despite the sunshine. It gets colder Saturday night into Sunday morning. As the winds subside, temperatures fall to the low to mid 30s with some wind chills in the upper 20s. Temperatures ease into next week to near seasonable with lots of sunshine as an offshore storm lingers nearby.
