The weather, currently.
Remaining chilly with lots of sunshine
Thursday will be a surplus of chapstick and lotion type of day. Dry air is in control with dewpoints only in the 20s and you’ll feel the lack of moisture in your skin. We’ll have ample sunshine with a chilly high of 50°F. Another clear and cold night awaits with a low of 42°F. If this crisp weather isn’t your thing, a warm up is on the way. Temperatures look to moderate into the 60s by the weekend. Ah, weekend, such a beautiful word. Have a great day!

What you need to know, currently.
With water temperatures in the North Atlantic Ocean at far-and-away record highs, one of the strongest-ever cyclonic storms to hit northwest Europe made landfall in the UK early Thursday.
According to the UK Met Office, Storm Ciarán underwent “explosive cyclogenesis” on Wednesday, rapidly deepening to a central pressure of 950mb — one of the strongest ever recorded in western Europe. According to UK-based climate scientist Ed Hawkins, “Only two other similar events for pressure in observational records - 25/02/1989 and 25/12/1821.”
Heavy rain and strong winds around hurricane-force will affect Ireland, the UK, France, Spain, and Portugal on Thursday.
Storm Ciarán Is now slamming northwest France with sustained hurricane force winds likely occurring. Red wind warnings are in effect. A high-impact wind event is unfolding.
