Prepare for a cold front this evening

We're waiting on a cold front that is expected to move through later this evening. Until then, temperatures will warm this afternoon into the mid, even upper, 70s. Rain chances increase, mainly after 4 p.m. as a thin line of rain and storms will likely form along and ahead of the cold front. A wind advisory will then go into effect for much of the region, beginning at 6 p.m. Strong north winds will persist through Thursday morning with some gusts reaching 35mph+. After Wednesday's cold front, cooler temperatures will prevail until this weekend when a slight warming trend is expected.
