5:02 FORECAST ON THE 2'S-WX WALL


Today's Weather Story

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

"A warm start to the week"

Yesterday's high of 84° fell a couple of degrees short of the record, which was 86° set back in 2005. Even though we didn't rewrite the record books, it was still pretty warm by January standards. Monday will be no different, as our unseasonably warm weather pattern continues with afternoon temperatures running eight to ten degrees above the average.

Early in the morning, temperatures will be at their coolest with most of us in the lower to middle 60s. Sunshine will be in control of our skies this afternoon with a few fair weather cumulus clouds scattered about as rain chances stay less than 10%. With highs forecasted to remain in the lower half of the 80s, it looks like our record of 86° set back in 1989 will remain for another year.

Not much will change as we head beyond Monday. In fact, the ridge of high pressure that has been in control of our weather over the last several days will maintain its grip over the area. It will keep us under a southeasterly wind flow, which will keep our afternoon highs in the 80s with lows in the 60s.

By the end of the week, a cold front approaching from the northwest will eventually breakdown this ridge of high pressure with a return to the upper 70s to low 80s. Forecast models are also hinting at an increase in the clouds along with a stray shower with the possibility of some cooler air filtering down the state by this time next week.

5:32 FORECAST ON THE 2'S-WX WALL


Today's Weather Story

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

"A warm start to the week"

Yesterday's high of 84° fell a couple of degrees short of the record, which was 86° set back in 2005. Even though we didn't rewrite the record books, it was still pretty warm by January standards. Monday will be no different, as our unseasonably warm weather pattern continues with afternoon temperatures running eight to ten degrees above the average.

Early in the morning, temperatures will be at their coolest with most of us in the lower to middle 60s. Sunshine will be in control of our skies this afternoon with a few fair weather cumulus clouds scattered about as rain chances stay less than 10%. With highs forecasted to remain in the lower half of the 80s, it looks like our record of 86° set back in 1989 will remain for another year.

Not much will change as we head beyond Monday. In fact, the ridge of high pressure that has been in control of our weather over the last several days will maintain its grip over the area. It will keep us under a southeasterly wind flow, which will keep our afternoon highs in the 80s with lows in the 60s.

By the end of the week, a cold front approaching from the northwest will eventually breakdown this ridge of high pressure with a return to the upper 70s to low 80s. Forecast models are also hinting at an increase in the clouds along with a stray shower with the possibility of some cooler air filtering down the state by this time next week.
