Starting warm and dry, ending colder and wet this week (3/5/23)

With plenty of sunshine on Sunday and a slight southeast breeze, temperatures warmed through the 60s by the afternoon. This, even after starting on a frost note for some. Heading into tonight, winds will remain with us enough to keep temperatures warmer than what we saw on Sunday morning. Generally throughout our region, we should start out on Monday with temperatures in the 45-50° range to start the week.

Starting out mild and with a breeze still with a southerly component, temperatures will soar into the 70s during the day. It looks to be a wonderful afternoon to be outside and to enjoy the outdoors if you can!

Looking at this week as a whole, it starts dry and warm. But after that, it turns cooler with increasing rain chances. At this point, there has been a good enough signal in extended outlooks to know that there’s a decent chance for below-normal temperatures next weekend into the following week.

For now, we will enjoy what Monday brings before a more active weather pattern brings rain chances Wednesday through Friday. And by next Sunday, we will have to be thinking about daylight savings once again, setting clocks forward an hour this time.
