Warm start to the weekend, sharp cool down Sunday

 Friday was a very mild day in the Stateline, especially given the 6" of snowfall that came down just in the same week! The high temperature just 3 days ago was only in the low 20s, but we reached the low 70s Friday as nearly all of the snowfall has now melted.

And the warming trend continues at least for one more day, as we will see afternoon highs climb into the mid-70s by the afternoon. While not nearly a record, it will still be very warm for mid-March standards, about 25 degrees above average!

But what goes up must also come down. An early morning cold front will lead to a sharp cool-down for Sunday afternoon, as temperatures in a few spots may struggle to reach above 50 degrees. The warmest part of the day will be centered near or just before 12PM, with falling temperatures through the afternoon into the 40s and eventually 30s. This cold front will also produce the chance for a few spotty showers, but any rainfall we do see will not amount to much.

Enjoy the warmth of Saturday while it lasts, because Sunday will be nearly 30 degrees cooler by late afternoon's time. Southwesterly wind gusts near 25 mph will aid to bring the warmth of Saturday, but Sunday's Northerly wind will aid to cool things off just as quickly. The cool-down is short-lived, as we return to the 50s and above average temperatures as early as Tuesday.
