Moderating trend with more frequent precipitation chances next week

 We saw another boost in temperatures from yesterday to today across the Stateline, with highs reaching the low to mid-20s. We will drop back to the single digits under this clear sky tonight, but even that is better than the near zero lows from the last several nights!

Tomorrow will bring another boost in numbers, with afternoon highs reaching the low 30s this time around for the first time in a week! While we are still below the average high of the mid-30s, it will continue to feel better and better compared to the bitter chill from last week. It will be a bit breezy with Southwest winds approaching 25 mph, so that will add a chill factor, but it should still feel warmer than the day prior.

The warming trend continues into next week, with highs pushing the low/mid 40s for a few days in a row. But that comes with a more active pattern as well, with a series of waves passing through with associated precipitation chances. Monday and Tuesday will likely feature dry daytime hours, but the overnights could be wet with light precipitation moving through. Wednesday will bring a more widespread weather system, including the chance for some rain, possibly switching over to a snow/mix late. 

The milder pattern in the near term will likely take us to the end of the month, but the first week or so of March looks to feature below average temperatures again. Granted, average by that time will be near 40° for highs and low 20s for lows. This forecast from the Climate Prediction Center leans toward below average temperatures in the 40-50% chance.
