Friday Morning Forecast!

Good Friday morning everyone from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

Temperatures have cooled off overnight from the cold front that moved through. Along with the cooler temperatures the wind have picked up with gusts nearing 30mph. Today we will continue to see the windy conditions with gusts up to 40 mph. The winds are because we have a Low pressure system just to our Northeast along with a High situated around Colorado. Between these two pressure systems we have a very tight pressure gradient causing us to have increased winds. The Northwest winds will stay around until the afternoon and by evening should die down to 5 to 15 mph. Our temperatures will stay chillier today only reaching the upper 60’s for highs. We will see Sunny skies and into the overnight a starry night with lows in the mid 40’s.

The weekend is looking gorgeous with highs Saturday reaching just around Normal into the mid 70’s, with lighter winds and Sunny skies. Sunday we should continue to warm a few degrees with similar conditions. Through out the next week temperatures should continue into the 70’s with lows in the 50’s. Right now no rain is in the forecast.

Don’t forget Saturday night to change your clocks back before you head to sleep! We will go back to standard time at 2 am Sunday morning.

Have a great weekend! Enjoy the beautiful weather!
