Near record temperatures possible again this week – Chris

Was today nice or was it nice! Outside of the wind, we just saw some of the warmest temperatures we’ve seen in a while around here. Good Tuesday evening to one and all! After today’s mild air, we remain mild tonight with partly cloudy skies and lows only around 30.

Another cool front does arrive tonight and that will keep highs in the middle 30s on Wednesday with partly cloudy skies. The temperature pendulum then swings wildly in the warm direction on Thursday.

Abundant sunshine and south winds will help to bring near record or record setting highs to the state. The forecast high right now is 48°, which would tie the old record for the day, but it’s possible many could make it to 50° before the week is over.

Colder air then returns by Friday into the weekend. A change then arrives in the pattern that could bring more active weather around here. Friday and Saturday do bring chances for rain and snow showers as of now. The chances of snow may finally return to our state, but of course, that’s a big time MAYBE for now.

Enjoy the evening, and take care!
