After the front pushes through, we’ll see NNE winds with gusts upwards of 40 mph. No rain is expected but we’ll probably see a lot of dirt if you’re up at that time.

3- After today, cooler temps will be in store with highs in the 60s and lows in the low to mid 40s. Another front will affect the area during the weekend. It appears it will be dry for us at this time. We are in a Moderate drought so hopefully we can get that important first rain after getting the wheat planted.
