The days have definitely gotten shorter. As we're typing this the sun is starting to peek from the east, revealing overcast skies that, according to Skilling Central, will stay with us throughout the day, with fleeting moments of sunshine peeking through. Also staying with us: wind. Expect sustained winds from 12-26 mph today with gusts over 30 mph, resulting in a jump in the mercury to 70 degrees and nighttime lows in the mid-to-high 50s.
