Each of the last 6 days has featured high temperatures well above average and even well into the 50s or 60s! Most of February has featured the milder pattern, including the last several days more than 20 degrees above average!
But all good things come to an end, as cooler air will filter back in by the weekend in a sharp reminder that it is still February. Afternoon highs will return back toward the 30s and much closer to average by the weekend, as a large pocket of colder air will settle overhead through much of next week.
As high pressure takes over Sunday, winds may be strong resulting in a wind chill factor. The coldest days in the near term will be Sunday and Monday with coldest air centered overhead. The wind direction most days will be generally out of the North, helping to keep us cooler.
We will gradually warm back up a bit toward the middle of next week as the next broad low-pressure system arrives between Tuesday and Wednesday. This could bring us a potential for more rain and storms, or snow showers depending on which side of the weather system we end up on. For now, a broader area of precipitation appears likely Tuesday night into Wednesday, with another drop in temperatures expected behind this system.
