ROBERT VAN WINKLE FORECAST OPEN-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

COOL MORNINGS TO COME

An extremely robust weather system made its way up the east coast yesterday, and I'm sure you heard about the severe weather it produced across the Southeast. It spun up tornadoes from Arkansas to the Carolinas, and wind damage was widespread as well.

That same system had a direct impact on our local weather, too. It pushed a cold front over the area, and we are feeling the affects now. The afternoon on Thursday was chilly as was the wee hours of Thursday.

… It'll get a little chillier too.

Through the evening, temperatures will fall pretty quickly under clear skies with most of the area in the middle 40s first thing Friday. It's even possible to see a few areas fall to near 39 degrees deeper inland and across our far northern communities.

High pressure has built into the area behind the aforementioned cold front. It's the reason we are seeing a tranquil weather pattern.

After our chilly start to Friday we'll contend with plenty of sunshine. Highs will stay in the lower 70s and humidity levels will be rather low making it feel very comfortable during the day.

So it's setting up to be a really nice start the weekend.
