Big Changes With Start of Spring

If you look at the calendar, spring is still a few weeks away, but meteorological spring starts Friday! So what does this mean for the Stateline? Hopefully, a big warm-up. And here's why.

March 1st
On March 1st, the official start of meteorological spring, our sun angle is still fairly low. Combine that with less than 12 hours of sunlight to help warm those temps up, and average highs are barely squeaking into the 40s.

March 31st
Let's fast forward to the end of the month. Not only do we add an hour and a half to our total amount of daylight, but a higher sun angle gives us the ability the warm up more. Heading into April, we're talking average highs well into the 50s!

As for the actual forecast, it'll be a chilly weekend with sunshine and highs in the upper 20s, but we do look to warm into the 40s by the middle of next week.
