WSIL -- Winds are already blowing out of the southwest to begin Wednesday morning which is ushering in warmer air. Temperatures are in the lower 50s, so you may still need a light jacket.

A few clouds are expected around lunchtime, especially closer to the Wabash Valley, but otherwise, a warm and windy Wednesday is ahead. Temperatures will likely peak in the upper 70s and lower 80s this afternoon and winds may gust as high as 30 miles per hour.

A strong cold front will arrive this evening and the coldest air of the season so far will follow in its wake. Meteorologist Nick Hausen breaks down the latest on how cool it will get. Join Evie, Dave, and Nick on News 3 This Morning! We've got you covered!
