Spring is near.
After what seemed like a solid week of rainy, chilly days, we’re getting a nice reward here with brilliant sunshine and highs in the mid 60s throughout the region. Esbenshades is open, Boehringer’s just opened, and although the spring opening at Shupp’s Grove is a full month away, spring is definitely in the air.
Here’s a look at the weather in store for the last few days of winter and the first week or so of spring…
Wed 3/17: continued mild with brilliant sunshine as a high pressure system sets up over our area. Look for highs once again in the mid 60s and overnight lows in the mid 30s.
Thu 3/18: sunny and mild once again and somewhat breezy; highs in the mid to upper 60s and a low around 40.
Fri 3/19: sunny and mild again. Look for highs in the upper 60s (some areas could actually reach 70!) and lows again near 40.
Sat 3/20: sunny to partly cloudy and still mild, with highs in the mid to upper 60s and lows in the low to mid 40s. Happy first day of spring!
Sun 3/21: mostly cloudy, breezy and mild with a high again in the low to mid 60s. Slight chance of some showers later on Sunday night, when we should expect a low in the low 40s.
Mon 3/22: sun and clouds mix; cooler with temperatures closer to normal for this time of year (highs in the low 50s, lows in the low 30s).
Tue 3/23: partly cloudy and seasonably pleasant with highs in the low to mid 50s and lows in the low to mid 30s.
Wed 3/24: partly to mostly cloudy and a bit milder with highs perhaps reaching the upper 50s.
Thu 3/25: clouds arrive ahead of a low pressure system, keeping highs in the low 50s.
Fri 3/26 and Sat 3/27: overcast, rainy and chilly with highs only reaching about the mid 40s.
Sun 3/28 and Mon 3/29: partly sunny and still cool with highs in the upper 40s at best.
Preliminary spring break (or what’s left of it) forecast: looks like the typical early-April pattern holds and we see highs in the upper 40s to low 50s with a few rainy days.
Stay tuned!
