Here’s today’s Bottom Line
Today will be the LAST day for quite a while where we experience warmer-than-normal temps. A powerful cold front crosses the area by lunchtime, with gusty winds developing behind it. Colder air will start to funnel in by suppertime, and as the sun sets, so will the temps.
We’ll wake up early Friday with temps in the lower 40s… which is actually “normal” for this time of year.
Friday will run about 15 degrees colder than today, and by the time we all head out to Legion Stadium, temps will be around 50, quickly falling through the 40s during the game.
Saturday morning’s wake-up will feature bright white frost with temps in the 31-34 range. Afternoon highs…. mid to upper 50s.
Then the FREEZE occurs early Sunday morning. Temps will be in the 29-32 range within 30 minutes either side of sunrise on Sunday with clear skies.
The 2026 growing season ends this weekend.
Highs Sunday afternoon will be in the upper 50s. We’re back down around 30 early Monday, and in the lower 30s early Tuesday. Highs Monday and Tuesday in the upper 50s.
Longer-range modeling shows temps rising back up to around normal (mid/upper 60s) toward the end of next week.
