Warmer For Today, Coldest Weather So Far Arrives Tomorrow

Breezy but not as cold ahead for our Wednesday morning. Rain will move through just to our south today but a much warmer afternoon is ahead. Our warmup will be short lived though so enjoy it because another round of bitter cold returns into Thursday as highs on Thursday struggle to get out of the lower 30s and it will feel like the upper 20s through much of the afternoon. We’ll have all the details right here!

Temperatures are already on the order of 8 to 10 degrees warmer than the same time yesterday and after several mornings in the 20s, We are headed for a milder day.

The winds will shift back to the southwest Today and that will try to warm us up some into the afternoon. Highs on Today will reach the low to mid 50s. There is a low pressure system coming up from the south and a late cold front that could bring a few showers to our southern counties in the afternoon and evening on Wednesday. If you live along the Mississippi border you will have a much better chance of seeing a few showers than if you live north of Madison County. Lows night will fall down to the low 30s.

Behind Wednesday’s front, even colder weather will be on the way. If you didn’t fall down to the teens Tuesday morning, you probably will on Friday morning. Thursday highs will only make it to the mid to upper 30s from the brisk northerly wind. We should see the sun dominate most of the day on Thursday but it will be cold all day long. High temperatures will try to warm up a bit on Friday but not much. The winds will still come out of the north most of the day allowing highs to only reach the low 40s. Friday night lows will fall down to the mid 20s and expect mostly sunny skies on Friday.

THE WEEKEND:

This weekend we are going to see a little bit of a warm up due to the winds returning back to the south and southwest. Highs on Saturday will reach the low 50s and Sunday night will make it back up above normal for the first time in a while up to the upper 50s. Saturday night will be warm and drop down to around 50°. This will be from the southerly winds and increase in the dew point from some moisture streaming up from the south. The next system will come through on Sunday and bring a round of rain showers with it. There is a chance for a few storms to mix in but there appears to be a better chance for thunderstorms on Monday as the next system passes by. There is a chance for some severe weather on Monday so we will be watching that closely as the week goes by. Expect a partly cloudy day on Saturday, mostly cloudy day on Sunday and cloudy skies for next Monday.
