First 60° day in over two months

After a cold early and middle February temperatures are trending in the right direction.  Seven of the last eight days of February were at, or above, normal.  Above normal temperatures will continue through the first week and a half of March, if not more.

Along with the warmer air winds will increase mid-morning through late afternoon.  The wind will start out of the south, shifting to the southwest, gusting 30 to 35 mph.

TONIGHT:  Clear skies.  Lows will be in the middle to upper 20°s.
