A deep and unstable cold air mass lies over the region with 500 hPa temps down to -26 Degrees Celsius early today and strong winds aloft.Hence plenty of showers early today,possible thunderstorms and/or small hail,gusty winds especially with showers and thunderstorms with wind gusts exceeding 80 km/h possible.

High pressure ridge builds over the region thereafter resulting in improved weather conditions,cold morning on Friday with radiational cooling of already cool air,how cold depends on cloud cover,prospects from "anvil" of land breeze convergence clouds offshore.Cold air mass means shallow convective clouds during the day on Friday and Saturday.
