Westerly winds will continue to be gusty today before subsiding late this afternoon and evening. The trough over the region will exit by this evening with nearly zonal flow moving in. At the surface, high pressure will quickly move into the Southeast today and tonight. Temps will be cooler today and tonight but will rebound to highs in the 50s tomorrow through Monday or Tuesday. In the upper levels, nearly zonal flow will continue this weekend with high pressure moving in from the northwest. Dry weather will continue this weekend through Monday. Low rain chances will return Monday night through Tuesday as a warm or stationary boundary sets up near the Ohio Valley. Temps look warm with highs possibly in the 60s for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, thanks to a ridge building into the Southeast.
