Our unseasonably cold weather will continue for another 72 hours with a warm-up back to seasonably mild temperatures later this week and into the weekend. Last night’s cold front has reinforced the chill in the air with temperatures dropping nicely through the 40s and the upper 30s this evening. Factor in the wind, wind chills will be about 5 degrees colder so bundle up if you’re heading out for any of the festivities tonight. After a frosty start our Mardi Gras will be sunny and quite cool with temperatures topping out in the lower 50s for the last parades of the day. It appears that Wednesday and Thursday mornings will be frosty but we’ll be able to move the plants back outdoors for Thursday afternoon as highs reach back into the lower 60s. Look for lots of sunshine through Friday but as the weekend approaches weakening fronts and a zonal west to east flow aloft may allow for more clouds and a few showers Saturday with better rain chances possible for next Monday. The bottom line: near term-cold but later in the week a little more spring-like with highs in the 60s through the weekend and perhaps into early next week…we are not quite done iwth winter yet, but at least we’re heading in the right direction for the weekend!
