A look at March so far

As Chief Meteorologist Ty Sheksy pointed out yesterday evening, Tuesday's high of 74° was the 12th time we've reached 70° or higher during the month of March!  That broke the previous record of 11 days back in March 1910!  Wow!  The average monthly temperatures is just a little over 53° which puts us at a whopping 16.7° above our monthly average.

A west/northwest wind will keep highs this afternoon in the mid and upper 60s, but still above average.  A secondary cold front will move through late morning switching winds around to the northwest and allow a drier air mass to move in.  During the day today wind gusts could reach 30 mph but as the evening nears winds will begin to calm possibly allowing patchy frost to develop overnight.
