TUESDAY: It will be a cold start Tuesday morning with lows in the upper 30s and winds gusting up to 30 mph at times. It will feel close to freezing for the commute, so jackets are needed early, but not for the afternoon. Highs will soar from the 30s to the 60s by 4 p.m. with plentiful sunshine. The sun angle this time of year is similar to September, so you can get sunburned in one hour during the middle of the day.

WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY: Another nice day is expected Wednesday with highs in the low 60s and sunshine most of the day. Clouds return Wednesday night and most of Thursday will be dreary. A bit of mist and drizzle is possible by late-morning with a line of showers and storms likely arriving just after the evening commute, sparing both commutes from significant impacts. It will be a quick hit of rain between 7 p.m.-3 a.m. as it stands now, with about a half inch expected in total. We need at least a dozen of these kinds of storms to eliminate most of the drought the borough is currently seeing.

SERIOUS WIND: Thursday night's storm will usher in serious wind again on Friday. An early look suggests 50 mph gusts are on the table. That combined with very dry air and low humidity could elevate the fire risk once more. It will be much colder, too, with highs stuck in the 40s and feeling like the 30s. The wind goes down and the temperatures go back up this weekend, which is shaping up to be quite pleasant.
