Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast:
It’s probably no surprise that the forecast for the next week includes freezing temperatures and highs well into the 80s!
First will have to deal with the chill. Much of our area is under either a Freeze Watch or a Frost Advisory for Friday morning. Most of us will wake up to temperatures in the 30s under clear skies.
But as our winds shift to the southwest in the afternoon, we will start a warm-up. Expect to top out in the mid 60s on Friday under partly cloudy skies.
It will be warmer for the weekend with highs in the low 70s both days. But we are tracking the chance for showers, thunderstorms and maybe even some severe weather.
The first half of your Saturday is looking dry, with increasing clouds in the afternoon. Right now it does look like the wet and stormy weather will hold off until late afternoon and into the evening.
A few of the storms could be severe, with damaging winds being our top concern.
A few showers linger into Sunday morning, but most of the day is looking dry and mild.
The work week includes plenty of sunshine and a big warmup. We will start the week in the 60s on Monday, climb into the 70s on Tuesday and soar into the 80s on Wednesday and Thursday!
