Warm Start To The Week

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We are off to a mild start this morning with temperatures in the upper 40s to mid 60s across the area. Be careful of some fog in the southeastern communities. Near record temperatures are expected this afternoon with highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s. Windy conditions are likely once again today with winds from the southwest at 15 to 30 mph. Much of the viewing area is under a Red Flag Warning. This means we have critical fire weather danger so be careful.

A cold front should move through the area by tomorrow morning. This will bring much cooler conditions for Tuesday. Highs look to be in the mid to upper 50s. These numbers will likely take place before the front arrives. There is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms tonight through tomorrow morning for the eastern half of the viewing area. Winds will be strong from the northwest at 20 to 30 mph with higher gusts.

We will start off cold on Wednesday with temperatures in the low to mid 20s. By the afternoon, highs should be in the upper 50s to low 60s under mostly sunny skies.

A weak cold front is expected to move through the area early Thursday. This will bring slightly cooler temperatures to the area with highs in the mid to upper 50s. It should be a dry frontal passage for us, so no rain is expected.

Well above average temperatures will likely return on Friday with highs in the mid to upper 60s.

Another weak cold front will likely move through the area early Saturday bringing slightly cooler temperatures for us. No precipitation is expected.

Have a magnificent Monday!
