Today (Sunday): Plenty of sunshine today, but you may want to admire it from under the heated blanket while drinking hot cocoa. It feels more like mid-January than late November. After starting the morning in the 20s, afternoon highs only register in the mid-30s to near 40. And factoring in a biting breeze, with gusts from the northwest near 35 mph, it feels more like the 20s all day. Hat, gloves and scarf all in play. Confidence: High
Tonight: Winds quickly diminish during the early evening. Otherwise it’s mostly clear and cold with lows in the upper teens to mid-20s. Confidence: High

Tomorrow night: Clear skies continue. It’s chilly, but not quite as cold as tonight, with lows in the mid-20s to low 30s. Confidence: High
