Cold Snap

Winds have shifted and they are brisk. Dry air continues to enter the area but the steady north wind means highs today will stick in the lower 50s. Suddenly it's cold. At least you'll enjoy a bright sky so find a sunny spot if you are heading to parades. We were spoiled by the warm January. How soon we forget how cold February can be!

Tonight you'll really remember that we are in the middle of winter. Everyone goes below freezing, with inland counties maybe seeing a hard freeze. Lows will fall into the middle 20s along the I-10 corridor. Inland counties will end up in the lower 20s. Take extra care of the sensitive and tender plants. This weekend delivers our coldest weather in a month, especially at night.

I'm trying to be optimistic on the temperatures but they may actually be colder than I'm forecasting.

Tomorrow presents a sunny sky with a lighter north wind. Highs will again only reach the lower 50s. After a Monday morning start just below freezing, we'll get back to milder temperatures approaching 60. Clouds will once again return. Between Monday and Tuesday look for another quick batch of showers to pass through. Highs on Tuesday will return to the upper 60s.
