Today will feature a fair amount of sunshine in the morning but some afternoon clouds, caused by instability from the unusual upper atmospheric chill, could be around. Temperatures will be no better than the upper-40s and with strong west winds, it will feel more like the 30s. Welcome back winter! ... Not.
