FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Good Friday Evening,
It has been another gem after a cool start to the day, temps back into the lower to middle 70s today. We will not be as cold tonight, in fact some temps, like in the city will be just above normal around 50. Speaking of this evening, we will have a great night for Football Friday Nite with temps dropping to near 60 to upper 50s.
Saturday should be a great day, with warm temps, and clouds increasing mid to late day. Rain chances and a few rumbles will be possible overnight into Sunday morning as a cold front approaches our area. The front will actually get pushed back north on the back of a strong southerly flow. A low developing along the front, will help to push it back to the southeast late day. This means temps will push to the mid to upper 70s on Sunday.
Behind the front, we will have wraparound clouds on Monday, and a cool breeze, with highs only in the upper 50s. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday could have patchy frost to start the mornings, with cool afternoons too. Highs will be in the middle 50s Tuesday, near 60 on Wednesday, and in the middle 60s on Thursday, with tons of sunshine each day.
By the time we get to the end of the week, temps will be back above normal for next Friday with highs around 70 with sunny skies. It looks like that mild weather will continue next weekend with highs pushing into the 70s with sunshine continuing as well.
