Last week's spring-like warmth seems like a distant memory now. Some of the coldest weather so far this winter continues Tuesday. Despite all day sunshine, highs will struggle to warm above 40 in the afternoon.
Occasional wind gusts up to 20mph will make it feel like the mid 30s even during the warmest part of the day.

Clear skies Tuesday evening will give way to another very cold night. Lows will drop to the low and mid 20s by sunrise Wednesday. A northerly breeze will make it feel like the teens.
Chilly and dry weather will continue through Thursday. However, the second half of this week will not be as cold as the start. Wednesday's highs will reach the mid 40s. Thursday should warm to near 50 and the low 50s.
Our next rain chance will come Friday through early Saturday. During that time, anywhere from 0.25" to 0.75" of rain will be possible.
