Nowcast- Mirroring my heartbeat after a big tug of pre-work juice, temperatures rebound rapidly out of the deep freeze and start the day in the teens and single digits... nearly 20 degrees warmer than at this time yesterday morning. Along the ridges it's still crisp where northwest winds blow in the mid 20's delivering windchill to -14 degrees. However, the sun is high in the sky and it'll feel good on your grill, though it did deliver a slight zipper crust on low elevation solars yesterday. But swing over to the other side of the compass and tag the polars where riding and turning conditions are all time.
Forecast- A glorious day is on tap with mostly sunny skies, temperatures climbing into the mid 20's, and northwest winds blowing 10-20 mph along the high ridges.
Futurecast- Not much going on... we remain high and dry through the work week. Temperatures steadily increase each day and winds are generally light. A quick hitter late in the week delivers a couple traces of snow late Friday, with another stronger sytem on tap for Sunday.
