This weekend featured much below normal temperatures for this time of year and several rounds of frosts/hard freezes. The frigid airmass responsible for these temperatures will finally be pushed north of the area tomorrow as high pressure builds over the Southeastern United States. Return flow from the south and southwest around this area of high pressure should lead to temperatures that will be in the normal to above normal range for the majority of this week.

Rest of today – still chilly today with high temperatures only topping out around 50 in the city and cooler in the surrounding suburbs under mostly clear skies.

Tuesday – clockwise flow around an area of high pressure building to our south will enable southwesterly and westerly winds to usher in a much warmer airmass into the region. Temperatures should rebound nicely tomorrow into the mid-upper 60s in the city with partly sunny skies.

Wednesday – the warm trend continues, with temperatures Wednesday expected to be similar if not even a couple degrees warmer in the low-70s.

Thursday – a cold front will be approaching from the northwest on Thursday, so clouds are expected to increase ahead of it, though no rain is expected at this time. Prior to the passage of this cold front, temperatures should remain warm in the upper-60s to near 70 again.
