Warm start this week, another big cold front Wednesday

Jackets were needed this morning with lows hovering in the 30s and 40s across the Heartland. Lots of sun and wide open sky make for the afternoon temps to climb a little higher than they should for November. Today and tomorrow, 70s are on tap for the most of us thanks to a gentle southwest wind. Clear and calm conditions let temps fall close to average during the night, more upper 30s to near 40 degrees.

Another cold front is expected to arrive on Wednesday with another blast of colder air, right up with what we had last weekend. On the leading edge of the front, a few showers and storms are possible alongside some breezy conditions. Through Friday, a few gusts may exceed 20 MPH and up to 25 MPH on Thursday. Colder air arrives Thursday and the extra wind will make it feel all the more chilly. Highs will be limited to the upper 40s and lower 50s from Thursday through Saturday and lows will drop below freezing Friday night, with some possibly getting close to a hard freeze.
