A SUPER SUNDAY, SUN & MILD

Not only is today Super Bowl Sunday, but also National Weatherperson Day. So be sure to take a few moments to thank those meteorologists that provide you with an accurate forecast day in and day out. Mother Nature is giving us all a gift for today with a fair amount of sunshine, along with mild temps. Afternoon readings peaking in the low to mid 40s.

Mostly clear and not as chilly for tonight. Lows in the mid to upper 20s. Partly cloudy and still mild for tomorrow. Highs in the upper 30s to around 40. Turning cooler Tuesday with a mix of sun and a few clouds. Highs in the mid 20s. We hit the copy button weather-wise for Wednesday, then variably cloudy Thursday with a chance of snow showers. Highs top out in the low 20s. The outlook for Friday into the weekend is still a bit unclear, but here is what I think will be the case. The chilliest day appears to be on Friday, in the wake of a cold front that passes through the region. Highs are expected to be in the low to mid 10s. Then as has been the case much of this winter season, the frosty cold air retreats, with highs Saturday back into the low 20s and then climbing to near 30 by next Sunday. The temperature range for this time period could change as the time gets closer, but it seems like a good bet that we'll be avoiding any major snow producers for the time being.

Have a splendid Sunday!
