PM Update: Seasonably chilly tonight and Tuesday as winds slowly wane.

Winds gusting between 30 and 40 mph for much of the day helped offset the sunshine. Temperatures rising to highs in the low- and mid-50s often felt a good 10 or more degrees lower. We should see winds start to ebb this evening, and conditions should be more pleasant — if also a little cooler — tomorrow.

Through tonight: Clouds that worked into parts of the area this afternoon should diminish by half through the evening, but we’ll still see occasional gusts from the northwest around 15 to 20 mph. Lows will fall to near freezing north and west of Interstate 95 and into the low- and mid-30s elsewhere.

Tomorrow (Tuesday): Sunshine should regain its full dominance as skies are almost entirely clear. Despite all those rays, highs will likely rise to only within a few degrees of 50, which is a bit below normal for the date. Winds will be more cooperative than today, out of the northwest around 5 to 10 mph and probably weakening before sunset.

Dreaming of snow: It’s almost that time of year again. In fact, the long-range weather pattern looks somewhat wintry as we head into December. If you’ve been in the area a while, you probably know it used to snow a lot on Dec. 5. Maybe we can bring that back? I have a feeling we’ll be watching this as we close in over the days ahead. And if you missed it, check the winter outlook.

1. It was cold and breezy when I went out to look at the space station before dinner.

There were enough breaks in the clouds, especially to the north, that I had an unobstructed view. It was visible for a good four minutes. This was a good sighting.

2. Great!

I haven't seen it.
