The warm up for the Stateline is something that has been advertised for the past week now, but it's just going to take a little while to get there. The reason: low pressure developing off the east coast. The messy system that brought us the wintry mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet & snow Monday morning will combine with low pressure in the Atlantic and bring rain, freezing rain and heavy snow from the mid-Atlantic up through New England. That strengthening low will cause the jet stream to slow down and buckle across the middle of the country.
This will keep us locally under a cooler north wind through Thursday. It won't be until late Thursday that high pressure in the northern Great Lakes will move south, switch our winds around to the south and allow temperatures to warm up going into the weekend. Highs beginning Thursday will warm above average and will stay that way until the beginning of next week. If cloud cover is able to hold off long enough and we don't receive any rainfall, temperatures have a decent shot of rising near 50 degrees.
