Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast

Windy and much cooler… Expect plenty of sunshine today but it will be much cooler and still windy. Temperatures will linger in the 50s today. That’s about 20 degrees cooler than yesterday but still near normal for this time of year. Expect strong NW winds with gusts to 30+ mph. Winds will relax tonight with clear skies and temperatures falling into the mid and upper 30s.

Expect a nice mix of sun and clouds for Friday as a cold front moves through the region. This front will have limited moisture so our rain chances will be low. An isolated shower is possible, mainly for the Eastern Shore. Highs Friday will be in the mid 50s, near normal for this time of year. It will be windy again tomorrow with gusts to near 40 mph possible.

Expect plenty of sunshine this weekend but it will be even cooler. Expect highs in the mid 40s Saturday and low 50s Sunday. Overnight lows will fall to near or below the freezing point. We will warm back into the 60s and 70s again next week.

Today: AM Clearing, Mostly Sunny, Cooler, Windy. Highs near 60. Winds: NW 10-20G30

Tonight: Mainly Clear, Chilly. Lows in the upper 30s. Winds: NW/W 5-10
