Broad high pressure to the northeast will allow for clear skies and light northeasterly winds to persist into this evening. Light winds will turn clockwise and become westerly by Thursday morning as the high moves further away from our area. However, sunny skies will continue tomorrow and slightly higher upper level heights will allow for high temperatures to be a few degrees warmer than today. && .LONG TERM...
