PM Update: Chilly start to the weekend, with a milder finish.

Clouds were slow to clear after an icy morning across the area. As expected, the ice mainly was on elevated surfaces, so it caused minimal trouble. It did remind us that it’s winter. Breaking clouds revealed a beautiful afternoon, although some hefty gusts kept it from feeling too amazing despite temperatures rising into the 50s and near 60. Our last weekend of meteorological winter feels like the season to start, then the chill eases a bit at the end. Seems proper.

Through Tonight: All the weather is out of here, and we’ve just got clear skies and some wind left. Seasonably cold low temperatures range from the mid-20s to near 30. Gusty winds in the afternoon diminish with sunset, but gusts are around 15 to 20 mph in the evening.

Tomorrow (Saturday): A little atmospheric disturbance passing to our south may increase our clouds for a time in the morning. Otherwise, partly cloudy and trending clearer late. Breezes down compared with late today, mainly light out of the northwest. Temperatures are slow to climb and only make the low or mid-40s for highs.

Sunday: Skies are mainly clear, and temperatures are headed upward to close out the weekend. We should make a try for the mid-50s. Winds are from the west around 10 to 15 mph, with gusts near 30 mph.
