Let's break down today's weather like we're calling plays on the field. Right now, we've got a mostly clear sky with temperatures hanging around 70 degrees. It's like the atmosphere is running a perfect defensive formation overnight! Now, let's talk Wednesday - we've got a 20 percent chance of showers after 4 pm. But don't worry, it's mostly gonna be sunny with temperatures climbing to a toasty 88 degrees. Wind's gonna be doing some fancy footwork - starting southwest and then shifting to the northeast. Talk about a weather audible! Weather Playbook time! Today, I'm gonna explain the concept of wind shift. Think of it like a quarterback changing up the game plan.
