Temperatures are a lot like gas prices lately…all over the place! Another small swing upward is forecasted today and Thursday. And if conditions are just right, 60s are attainable by tomorrow afternoon! Also, the rain threat looks minimal the next few days, spotty at best. However, a deeper shot of colder air arrives on Friday and with that comes more rain, perhaps mixing with snow by the early afternoon! This will lead to a cooler weekend. The cold weekend air won’t stay for the start of the workweek as Monday highs could hit 50.
Taking a look at the monthly average temperature we are running warm. No surprise there. Temperatures through the 21st have been an average of 4.5° warmer than we expect from “normal” February temperatures. The last time the city ran milder for the month was in 2005. That year the average February temperature was 5.1° warmer than average. Interesting enough over the past 10 years, we’ve seen five Februarys with temperatures running warm and five with temperatures running cold.
