Local Alert Weather – Wed. PM

Happy Wednesday evening, everyone!

Mostly clear skies will be overhead tonight, so we’ll have a calm, cold start tomorrow morning. Winds will gust around 10 miles per hour and will calm after midnight. Low temperatures will be slightly below average in the teens and lower 20s.

Thursday will see more clouds than Friday, but still mostly sunny to partly cloudy overnight. Daytime highs will be in the mid to upper 40s, which is still below average. Winds will be calm for the next several days.

High pressure ridging builds back into the region and as a result we’ll see sunnier skies and a warm up. Temperatures will keep climbing into the lower 50s by Friday and will stay that way through next week. Our average daytime high is 54 degrees.

During this time expect ice and snow to begin to melt quickly. Anything that melts into a puddle will refreeze through the overnight as lows hover just below or at the freezing mark.

Spring-like conditions are ahead for us over the next several days. The weekend ahead will see more clouds Saturday than Sunday, but both days stay dry. Highs will be in the upper 40s and low to mid 50s. Winds will stay light.

The beginning of next week will see sunshine and temperatures around average in the low to mid 50s.
