After several record high temperatures were reached in February and early March, our pattern turns a little more winter-like as we move into the Spring season.
For the rest of Sunday evening skies will remain mostly cloudy with a few scattered snow flurries from time to time. Gusty northwest winds will ease some through the evening as overnight lows fall into the low to mid 20s.
Temperatures Monday will also fall below average (average high is the upper 40s) reaching only the upper 30s for the afternoon. As the cooler air remains in place aloft it'll help build a little instability during the afternoon. This will likely lead to skies turning partly to mostly cloudy once again. A few flurries can't be ruled out during that time as well, but no accumulating snow can be expected.
Winds will turn back to the west and southwest Tuesday bringing temperatures back into the mid-50s for the afternoon. This will likely be our warmest day out of the next seven. Quiet conditions can be expected going into Wednesday but a cold front early in the day will help hold temperatures in the low 40s.
By late week a quick moving upper-level disturbance will race southeast, crossing the Midwest late Thursday into Friday. Colder air associated with the system is likely to bring a period of wintry weather to the Stateline. For some, this could include some accumulating snowfall through Friday morning. For others, a little more of a mix or a few rain showers. This could cause some minor impacts for the commute Friday morning.
The overall pattern through the end of the month is likely to feature below average temperatures and above average precipitation. This doesn't necessarily mean all precipitation will fall in the form of snow - remember our average high is in the upper 40s now and by the end of the month the average high is in the low 50s. But it doesn't look like we'll be seeing the 60s or 70s any time soon.
