       Tomorrow night: A cold front is slowly pushing through the region as we turn windy. Ahead of it during the evening we may see temperatures spike to around the 60-degree mark before we fall into the upper 30s to low 40s. Clouds and showers persist through the night. A few wind gusts could near 30 mph. Confidence: Medium-High

       Sunday: As a final shower or sprinkle moves out of our region, skies start to clear and northerly winds ramp upward. We could see a few gusts near 30 mph. Wind chills likely remain in the 30s all day, despite high temperatures topping out in the low to mid-40s. Confidence: Medium

       A look ahead

       Sunday night: Winds calm and temperatures drop under mostly clear skies. We may bottom out in the mid- to upper 20s. Confidence: Medium

       Bright skies Monday and Tuesday and calm conditions may produce comfortable December conditions. High temperatures should get to at least the mid-40s (if not low 50s by Tuesday). Dry conditions reassert themselves, with it looking hard to find rain drops in the workweek ahead. Confidence: Medium
