Cooler temperatures, lots of wind start off Thornton’s workweek

Well, maybe it is a good thing we are heading back to work today. With the wind that is expected, you probably wouldn’t want to be outside anyway!

The day starts with mostly clear skies and there is just the slightest chance for a sprinkle of rain early. After that, we will be dry and cloud cover will increase. High temperatures will be remaining around the 60 degree mark.

The big weather story for the day is the wind which got started in the pre-dawn hours. Look for speeds to gradually increase throughout the day peaking at up to 45mph or so by late afternoon / evening.

Tonight, skies will be partly clear and while the wind will ease some, it will remain pretty blustery. Lows will dip to around 40 degrees.
