Sunday, January 18: clearing after midnight and cooling before gradual warming picking up midday becoming quite warm late afternoon.
Saturday, January 17: mostly cloudy to cloudy and windy during the night with a trace of new snow while staying mild but the wind makes it feel much cooler. It clears early morning but stays very winter and cool through the day.
Friday, January 16: clear and warm, with wind picking up near sunrise. Some early morning clouds, clearing a few hours later as wind stays moderately steady and strong while cooler. Then clouds build to become cloudy by late afternoon as the wind continues and it stays much cooler.
