PM Update: Widespread freeze ahead of a sunnier Tuesday

Comment

Morning showers scooted out of much of the area by midday, with sun and wind taking over in their wake. Gusts around 40 mph this afternoon helped give temperatures reaching highs in the mid- and upper 40s a bit of extra bite. Those winds diminish tonight and are not as strong Tuesday. Otherwise, conditions are rather seasonable.
