Today’s officially the first day of Spring, and it certainly has felt that way! Temperatures this afternoon have warmed to the mid to upper 60s, which is well above normal for this time of year! Our average high is 54! The downside is that a cold front is approaching from the Great Lakes, which has kept gloomy weather in the forecast today. The skies have been overcast throughout the day, with scattered light showers this afternoon and evening. Any showers left over will taper off early tonight and we will see some clearing after midnight.

Clouds will increase during the later parts of the night, leading to cloudy skies to start Saturday. Fog will also develop during the later parts of the overnight and will linger throughout Saturday morning. Give yourself extra time if you plan on traveling out early on Saturday! A Canadian high-pressure system will build throughout the morning on Saturday, allowing those clouds to clear out. By the afternoon, the skies will turn mostly clear, and that’ll be the story for the rest of the day. Highs on Saturday will be cooler compared to today, with highs only warming to the upper 50s and low 60s.

The skies will stay mostly clear through the first half of Sunday, but clouds will build during the evening, due to an approaching cold front. The cold front will arrive around sunset, bringing scattered showers and storms with it. Several storms could also turn strong to severe. The Storm Prediction Center has the entire viewing area under a slight risk of seeing severe weather, which is a level 2 out of 5 on the scale. All modes of severe weather are possible with this setup, so stay weather aware! The severe weather threat will end Sunday night, but temperatures will plummet as we transition into the workweek.

Lows by Monday morning will fall back to the mid-30s, with highs warming to the upper 40s. Luckily, conditions will improve throughout Monday, as we lose the cloud cover as the day progresses. A spotty rain or snow shower can’t be ruled out Monday morning, but we will dry out by the afternoon. A series of weak systems will keep mostly gloomy weather in the forecast throughout next week. The good news is that conditions will be dry on Tuesday, but a spotty shower will be possible on Wednesday. The highest threat for any rain will occur late Thursday through early Friday, as a cold front will bring scattered showers. The constant change in temperatures will also continue next week.
