A Beautiful Start to the Weekend with Some Surprising Temperatures going into the Week

While we experienced a bit of temperature whiplash last week when the severe weather hit and the cold front came in the morning, this weekend should have a pleasant, more southern winter like feel to it. The clouds start rolling in tonight and this Sunday should be slightly warmer with some westerly winds making their way in.

Next week has some anomalously warm temperatures with highs reaching the 70’s and even the 80’s by mid-week. However, we’ll remain cloudy for most of the week while the temperatures climb. Wednesday is our rainy day with a possibility for severe weather and we will keep you updated on the intensity as we inch closer.
