The Overview

Nothing has changed the direction of the Polar Vortex’s travel. It is still headed here overnight. Today will be a beautiful lull before the storm. There could be some light rain through mid-day just as a warning. Overnight, the temps fall and the rain becomes snow. The white stuff will be random tomorrow and into Saturday. Not exactly a May weekend we would like to see. While the chatter of -20 is now just a memory, we will be just below zero into the weekend.

The Radar Never Lies!

Our opening temperature starts at 3C(FL -0C) in sunshine. It will warm to 7C (FL 4C) in the afternoon and then cool to -1C (FL -4C) overnight. The warm before the snap freeze. Winds – the steady 17kph flow of Northern air will keep it cooler through the day. The winds will increase in speed through tonight when they will get into the 30KPH range. Jack Frost is riding these winds into our area. 200507wi
