There is a chance we could break a temperature record today. The highest temperature reached on this date was 14.6c back in 1988. The forecast high for today is 14c , feeling more like early September than mid-November. The wind could be gusty from the south then swinging around to a northerly flow. We have a change coming however. This weekend we cool down and run the risk of snow and rain for Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening should be cool but dry with some NW wind.
