October is widely known for colder nights, shorter days, the first frost and snowflakes. But it is also a month where the winds start to blow more. The reason has to do with the contrast with the increasing cold in the northern latitudes and the lingering warmth to the south. Wednesday will be one of these blustery days. A cold front will pass through in the morning and we will have some gusts of wind over 40mph with and behind it. Eventually, a ridge of high pressure will build over the region and subside the winds by Thursday, but more winds are likely before and after another front which will cross later Friday.
