Sunny And Warmer

It's a very cold start to the morning with temperatures around 25, but we should rebound remarkably later this afternoon. The large diurnal temperature range that we will experience today can be attributed to the dry air we have in place as evident by dew points in the lower 20s. High pressure is entrenched over us this morning, but it will shift eastward today and turn the winds to the southeast. This will enable afternoon highs to top out around 58. However, if we mix higher in the atmosphere than forecast, we may be 2-3 degrees warmer as very warm air aloft will be present this afternoon. Tonight should be cold again with mostly clear skies and light winds. Since models are suggesting the possibility of a few clouds and winds being slightly higher, I think we drop to 33 tomorrow morning.
