StormTrack Weather: Strong winds hit the area Thursday morning

Good morning! Those of you that live on the west slopes you will be waking up to gusty winds this morning. Hold onto your hats and drive with caution as a cold front will not only bring strong northerly winds but cooler temperatures.

This afternoon will be cooler than yesterday with temperatures in the mid and low 70s, winds will peak around 25 to 30 mph. Warm weather returns Friday but we will get a break from the gusty winds.

High pressure allows temperatures to warm to above normal this weekend but the winds will return through much of next week.
