One more cool day before springtime warmth

TUESDAY: A few morning clouds and cold tempratures will be around for the first part of the day, before all sunshine returns into the afternoon, however, don’t let that fool you. There is going to be a stiff breeze out of the northwest at 10-15 mph which will make our air temperatures only rising into the mid 40s feel like the mid 30s. Thankfully Tuesday looks to be the last truly winter-like day across the area, as we will begin to moderate.

TONIGHT: We will see one more cold night across the area as northwesterly flow persists with clear skies in place. Overnight lows drop into the mid 20s again with calming winds by morning, negating much of a wind chill for the morning commute.

EXTENDED: Temperatures will make it back to average Wednesday as we top out in the mid-50s. Even warmer Thursday and Friday as temperatures will make it into the mid 60s thanks to the return of southwesterly flow. Windy conditions are expected to return by Wednesday into Thursday, with winds likely gusting anywhere form 20 to 30 mph. After highs rise into the 60s Thursday we are tracking a chance of showers and thunderstorms by Thursday night. This will kick off a somewhat active weather pattern as we head into the weekend with more on and off chances of showers through Monday. This pattern change that could potentially bring some of the warmest air so far this year. Be sure to check back at ABC 17 to get the latest updates on the forecast.
