Good Morning! Are you ready for a nice warming trend? It begins today with a high in the middle 70’s. The normal hi/lo is 74/47. Wednesday we’ll be in the mid to upper 70’s. In fact, we should reach the upper 70’s Thursday through Saturday. Tonight will still be chilly. We’ll be down to 44. But, gradually, even the nighttime lows will slowly start to slowly moderate. An approaching frontal system will bring showers and storms to the state Friday night. Cooler, and then COLDER will follow. But, not right away. Highs in the 70’s are still a good bet even over the weekend. Then, a reinforcing surge of Arctic Air will arrive by Monday. There will be a significant temperature crash. Expect a big change on Monday and Tuesday especially, next week. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.
