You can't ask for a better start to the weekend, as temperatures hit the mid 40's this afternoon under sunny skies! The evening stays fairly nice as well, with temperatures in the mid 30's while keeping the clear skies. Skies stay clear into the overnight, where temperatures will eventually dip into the mid 20's. There is some rain moving towards us out west, but this will fizzle out before reaching us as our atmosphere is too dry.
Not only did we have a warm start to the weekend, but this has been a very warm week in general for January. We started the work week in the mid 50's, staying above average for almost the entire week.
The only day we didn't get above average was on Wednesday, only hitting one degree below it. Our average is 30° for this time of year. Sadly, today was the last day of warmer temperatures for a while, as a couple systems move through this coming week to keep us on the colder side.
As we head into Sunday, a mid-level trough will move over our area. Clouds will start building by 6am, but scattered flurries are expected to move in around 9am. These stay with us into the later hours of the evening, and the northerly winds and cloudy conditions will only allow temperatures to only hit the low 30's Sunday afternoon.
After that mid-level trough moves out Sunday night, high pressure moves in from the north to pull the cold air back into our area. This will keep temperatures in the 20's for most of next week, with Wednesday being the only day we get into the low 40's. However, even though it'll be a colder week, we're also expecting plenty of sunshine throughout the week as well.
