Southeast wind gusts will peak around 30-35 mph Tuesday afternoon. Then, rain chances will increase overnight into Wednesday morning.

The backside of this system will bring northwest winds and another round of rain by the late morning and early afternoon, then temperatures drop for a cold night.

We're in for a mild stretch into mid-November, each of the next few days nearing the low to middle 60s. Conditions will remain dry through the weekend, but that will change next week.

Monday looks to break the cycle of quieter days. Signals are leaning more toward a "washout" kind of day, with thunderstorms bringing heavy rain possible especially Monday afternoon.

Moderate to heavy rain will be more widespread during the late morning into the early afternoon. Then, that activity breaks apart into scattered thunderstorms this evening.

The system that brought us rain yesterday will still have a grip on us in the coming days, producing strong winds both Tuesday and Wednesday.

Blustery winds are going to be extreme throughout Wednesday, but namely in the late morning and afternoon hours. There is critical fire danger with today as well.

Wind chills will be in the teens for Monday morning. Temperatures will continue to get a lot colder through the course of this holiday week.

Today temperatures are headed for the middle and upper 40s later on, seasonable for this point in late November.

Can't completely rule out a few flurries early today, but most will be quiet especially by Wednesday afternoon for this busiest travel day of the year.
