Here is a look at preferred precip totals out through Thursday.  More details discussed in the video.

Breezy conditions develop after a cold front passes tomorrow afternoon.  Behind this cold front, winds will shift out of the north-northwest.  Gust of up to 45 MPH will be possible directly behind the front.  Here is a look at the sustained winds around 4 PM tomorrow.  More detail in the video.

Breezy conditions also look to develop on Thursday as well.  The image below shows the sustained winds around 4 pm Thursday.  Gust up to 40 MPH will also be possible. 

Mostly dry conditions are anticipated for Thursday and Friday.  We are keeping an eye on a system for this weekend that could provide another shot of precip across the state.  Something we will continue to monitor/ fine-tune going forward.  The image below is a snapshot of the European Model around 10 PM Saturday.

Some cold air is on tap through next week.  As we mentioned yesterday, the risk for frost is still on the table.
