02/28 Ryan’s “Record Warm” Wednesday Night Forecast

Another record warm temperature day, but it will likely be the only such day after tomorrow’s cold front cools things down into the 60s for the weekend. Last night’s warm front passage brought even more warm, moist air into the area and we reached 80 degrees this afternoon, beating the previous record set in 2011 by one degree. The records beyond today all rise into the 80s as we fall into the lower 70s, so that’s why I don’t expect to see any more record breaking for the foreseeable future. That’s due to tomorrow afternoon’s cold front, which will bring scattered showers and an isolated thunderstorm or two through the evening, but skies will begin clearing overnight. That means cooler and drier air moves in quickly, leading to a beautiful string of days through the weekend with mild temperatures, low humidity, and nearly cloudless skies.
