| TODAY’S DAILY DIGIT
A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10. 7/10: Sunny and seasonal spring show, but bursts of bigger breezes still blow EXPRESS FORECAST Today: Sunny, seasonally cool, windy. Highs: 58-62.
Tonight: Breezy, clear, colder late. Lows: 30-40.
Tomorrow: Sunny, less wind. Highs: 60-64. FORECAST IN DETAIL It’s that time of year when springtime variability gives us a taste of many different weather conditions. Folks who want “true spring” should enjoy it, but for many of us, it creates complication as sometimes we need a light jacket, and other times we ponder short-sleeves and shades. We’ll try to navigate the twists and turns the best we can in this notoriously volatile time of year. Today and tomorrow are seasonably cool, then much warmer and wetter Thursday and Friday. A big cold front arrives this weekend, but the coldest temperatures may hold off until later in the weekend. Today (Tuesday): Mostly sunny skies, but still windy thanks to a tight pressure gradient between a Great Lakes high and a Canadian low. Winds from the northwest range from 15-20 mph with gusts to 30. The winds feel brisk/cool thanks to the dry air from the north. Nonetheless, we still manage to reach highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Confidence: High Tonight: Still breezy this evening, but downshifting overnight to light breezes under mostly clear skies. Lows toward dawn may range broadly from near 30 (late-season freeze!) in the far outer suburbs to near 40 in and around the city itself.
