This morning’s temperatures are coming in much cooler than yesterday’s, with most of us in the low 30s / upper 20s. With how cold we are starting out this morning, we might have some frosty windshields around the area, so it might be a good idea to head out a bit early to scrape off those windshields. Otherwise, the morning commute is looking pretty good, with lots of sunshine. That continues into the overnight hours, with temps getting up into the mid 60s.

Some of our cars may need a quick scrape this morning.

Today will bring our temperatures back into the 60s, and even the mid 70s tomorrow. Thursday’s temperatures will be falling all day long after starting in the upper 40s thanks to a passing cold front. Looking ahead to the start of next week, we’re looking at temperatures to be a bit cooler, landing in the upper 40s.

Warmer weather for today and tomorrow, but we get cooler at the end of the week.

We stay dry though tomorrow afternoon as high pressure remains in our area, but Wednesday night a cold front will be moving through our area, giving us the chance for some rain. Temperatures will be falling as the front moves through, and some of our higher elevations could see some light flurries once temps fall low enough. Thursday is the first day of spring, with rain and falling temperatures. We look to recover a bit over the weekend, but rain chances will increase as a disturbance looks to clip us.

A cold front pushes through early Thursday morning.
