Still Cool

Skies cleared long enough this morning for temperatures to hit 27, but with cold temperatures just above the surface, I it's possible we might stay in the 40s again today. However, model differences between the NAM and GFS 850 mb temperatures are 3 degrees and this will determine whether we stay in the 40s or warm into the 50s. I'll take a compromise between them and forecast a high of 50 this afternoon. Wind speeds between 5-10 mph will still make it feel like temperatures are in the 40s. Skies should remain clear tonight with decreasing wind speeds, but a south wind should keep us a few degrees warmer tonight. I'm still going to undercut guidance and forecast a low of 31. A nice warming trend begins tomorrow as our next storm system approaches. Rain chances will increase substantially by tomorrow evening and we could be dealing with a few thunderstorms.
