It will be chilly this evening as temperatures fall into the upper 60s by 9pm with breezy east-northeast winds. Clear skies, a cooler air mass and slowly easing winds overnight will provide sufficient conditions for conventional cooling.

This combination leads to cold temperatures that are above 30 and below 40 degrees across the board. Some areas may also experience near freezing temperatures. It will still be quite brisk as northeasterly winds dominate at around 15 mph.
