Warmer Weekend Ahead !

The warming trend is underway and it’s sticking around through the weekend. Daytime high temps will climb into the 60s and approach 70 Sunday. It won’t be quite as cold overnight and most spots will avoid falling below freezing Saturday night. High pressure will be the main weather feature overhead both Saturday and Sunday. Clouds will be passing through at…

Warming Trend Ahead !

We have another very cold night ahead but a nice warming trend kicks in Friday and continues through the weekend. A clear sky and light winds will allow temps to plunge into the upper teens and lower 20s overnight. We expect a refreezing of any melted snow or ice, so again watch out for those slick spots. It’s full sunshine…

Arctic Air In Place

Arctic air is over head and we stay in the deep freeze overnight but much warmer days are ahead. There’s no threat for falling precipitation but what remains will still be a problem overnight. Temps well below freezing will allow icy conditions to linger tonight into early Thursday. Abundant sunshine and warmer temps will try to take care of the…

Arctic Blast Arrives

Temperature will be falling through the evening and most spots hit the freezing mark and drop from there. Snow showers will be developing and moving eastward. Snowfall accumulations of .25 to 2 inches are possible across the area. Travel on area roadways will become dangerous. You will notice NW winds increasing to 8-16 mph. Wind chills will fall in the…

Another round of Arctic air is on the way and just behind it will be a wintry precipitation threat. Tuesday starts out mostly sunny and temps will actually climb into the upper 40s by noon but after that temps fall throughout the afternoon. Most spots will reach the freezing mark by mid evening and continue falling overnight. The air just…

Here Comes The Cold Air Again

Our nice little warm up is on the way out and another blast of Arctic air is ready to blow through here. Southerly winds will keep us mild overnight with temps in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Along with the warmth comes moisture and this will lead to a good chance for rain Friday. Rainfall potential is holding at…

Warmer Temps Going Away

Our warning trend is holding on for one more day then it turns wet and eventually much colder again. Southerly winds will help keep temps up through Friday morning. Thursday will be the warmest day this week with highs in the lower 70s area wide. Those same southerly winds will bring in gulf moisture and that will lead to a…

A Brief January Thaw

Our January thaw is underway but it’s not going to last too long. Another round of cold air is set to move into the region this weekend. In the mean time, temps will climb into the upper 60s to lower 70s through Thursday. Overnight lows won’t be all that bad with mid to upper 50s sticking around through Friday morning….

A Little Warmer This Week

The Arctic express has shut off and we get a chance to thaw out this week. Daytime temps will be warming into the 60s with lower 70s possible Thursday afternoon. What’s really nice is we avoid the freezing mark until Saturday morning. Can’t promise much sunshine the next few days but at least it will be warmer. Moisture will continue…

Cold Night But Warmer Days Ahead

The Arctic air lingers over the deep south but it’s about to give way to a slightly warmer air mass this weekend. Saturday starts out cold in the low to mid 20s but with abundant sunshine a nice recovery into the upper 40s to near 50 by early afternoon. Another below freezing morning is ahead for Sunday but afternoon temps…
