Good Morning! Wednesday was frigid, with a low of 15 and a high of 40. Today we will make it into the lower 50’s, which sounds like a heatwave. But, more changes are on the way as an yet another Arctic Cold Front approaches. Scattered showers will pop up by late afternoon and continue tonight. Rainfall will be light. Arctic Blast Number 2 arrives Friday. Windy and Cold. Upper teens by Friday night. Frigid Saturday with highs in the 30’s, and more teens Saturday night. But, stand by for a big pattern flip next week. Are you ready for a January thaw? Temperatures will soar into the 60’s starting Tuesday. Maybe lower 70’s late week. The trade off will be showers & thunderstorms. Will there be any Severe Threats? Probably. Don’t know yet. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.
