A chilly and windy midweek… We will see sunshine today with a few clouds mixed in. Highs will reach the upper 50s today, cooler than yesterday but close to normal for this time of year. Winds will ramp up through the day, NW at 10 to 20 with gusts to 30 mph this afternoon.

Wednesday will be the coolest day of the week. Most spots will see temperatures in the 30s tomorrow morning, closer to freezing inland. With the wind, it will feel more like the 20s. Highs will struggle to break out of the 40s Wednesday afternoon. We will see more sunshine, but it will still be breezy.

Sunny skies and a warmup for the end of the week. We will warm to the 50s on Thursday and 60s on Friday with mostly sunny skies. Sunshine will continue for the weekend with upper 60s on Saturday and low 70s on Sunday.

Tropical Update

Iota bringing flash flooding and mud slides to parts of Central America. Iota will move farther inland across northern Nicaragua today, and move across southern Honduras tonight before dissipating near El Salvador early Wednesday.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 75 mph with higher gusts. Iota should weaken to a tropical storm this afternoon, a tropical depression this evening, and degenerate into a remnant low pressure area on Wednesday.

A broad area of low pressure could form in a couple of days over the southwestern Caribbean Sea. Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for slow development, and a tropical depression could form by the weekend while the system moves slowly west to WSW across the southwestern Caribbean Sea.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (0%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Medium (40%)
