FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Good Wednesday Evening,
It has still been a very warm day today, even with the cold front pushing slowly though our area. Temps topped in the lower 70 early this morning, and rebounded into the upper 60s this afternoon. The cold front is moving away from our area, skies should slowly clear overnight tonight, with lows dropping to near 50.
Expect slow clearing through the day on Thursday, with highs back into the lower 60s, which is still about a half dozen above normal. Sunny skies will be the rule for Friday and most of the day on Saturday. This will lead to slowly warming temps, with highs back into the lower to middle 60s both afternoons.
Saturday night, expect rain showers to return to the forecast, and wet weather will be in the forecast for Sunday with highs quite warm, up into the upper 60s. Clearing skies will be expected on Monday with highs back into the lower 60s (still above normal). We will see temps warm again into the middle of next week, with highs in the middle 60s on Tuesday and Wednesday.
