High pressure will slide offshore today, while a warm front approaches the region from the southwest. Today will kick-off under plentiful sunshine, with light winds and temperatures quickly moderating into the 40s. However, with the advance of the frontal boundary, overhead clouds will be on the increase through the late morning and afternoon hours, eventually landing the summits back in the fog. Showers will develop by nightfall out ahead of the front, and will become more numerous overnight, while winds rapidly accelerate from the south-southwest. A rumble of thunder is not out of the question overnight either, a risk that will carry over into tomorrow with the frontal passage. Winds will gust near hurricane force through tomorrow morning, and begin to subside thereafter while temperatures soar well into the 40s.
