Wind adds to chill, brush fire threat - CM 🥶🔥
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
Temperatures Tuesday morning start at or below freezing. The wind adds insult to injury at times.
The wind also adds to an elevated brush fire threat.
That threat will be highest Wednesday, as the wind gets stronger and the humidity drops lower.
There is a statewide burn ban in effect each day through 4 p.m. until the end of April.
Tuesday’s highs reach the low to mid 50s. We’ll fall to about 34 to 40 first thing Wednesday morning before afternoon highs reach the upper 50s and low to mid 60s.
Spring officially begins Tuesday night at 11:06 p.m.
Thursday stays breezy. We’ll start in the low to mid 30s with patchy frost. A northerly breeze keeps us in the 50s as clouds increase at night.
FRIDAY AND BEYOND
We’re tracking a storm system that will move along the Gulf Coast and up the East, spreading rain into the region Friday. If the storm is strong enough, it could draw in enough cold air for some wintry mixing along some higher elevations. That’s up for debate at the moment.
Either way, it will be a chilly and wet day at times before rain leaves Saturday afternoon.
The weekend looks breezy. Cool mornings make way for seasonable afternoons.
