Above Average Temps Return and Stay...For Now

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We had a cold start to the day this morning with temperatures in the upper 20s to mid 30s. It remained cool througout the day with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. Our highs were close to what we typically see this time of year while our lows were below average.

Warmer and above average temperatures return tomorrow. High pressure will shift to the east giving us west-southwest winds. Highs look to be in the low to mid 70s under mostly sunny skies.

Slightly cooler temperatures are expected on Wednesday due to a weak cold front possibly moving through the area. Highs look to be in the upper 60s to low 70s under mostly sunny skies. Don't forget about the Share Your Christmas Food Drive on Wednesday. We will be collecting non-perishible food items and cash donations at the United Supermarket on South 14th Street from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Our goal this year is one million pounds. The weather will be great so please stop by and donate if you can.

Thursday through Saturday should be dry as well, but with partly cloudy skies. Highs are expected to be in the upper 60s to low 70s.

An upper level trough looks to be building in the western U.S. late this weekend and early next week. Some upper level disturbances could move through the area Sunday and next Monday, so there is a slight chance of rain both days. Highs during this time period should be in the upper 60s to around 70.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
