Sunny and Warmer

Clouds definitely played havoc with the temperatures overnight. Just after midnight, temperatures were around 39, but clouds moved in and the temperature actually rose overnight. In fact, temperatures are currently around 46 with clear skies. Skies should remain clear for the remainder of the day, and sunshine and warmer temperatures will be welcome to dry out the water logged ground. With temperatures starting warmer than expected this morning, I'm going to go slightly higher than guidance for our afternoon high. Expect a high around 59 this afternoon. Temperatures will fall quickly tonight with clear skies, but this will not be an ideal radiational cooling setup given the slightly higher winds forecast overnight (3-5 mph) and the amount of soil moisture. Therefore, I'll forecast a low of 34 tomorrow morning. Temperatures will be even warmer tomorrow with 60s expected, but a return to colder weather will arrive for the weekend.
