Spring feel for your Friday 2/18/2022

It might feel like winter this morning, but later today it will feel like spring! Current wind chill values are in the teens thanks to a light breeze out of the southwest. Temperatures will quickly warm as we head into the evening eventually to the upper 50s and low 60s. Widespread sunshine will stick around all day and wind speeds will be gusty at times. These gusty conditions combined with dry and warm air, are raising the concern for fire weather. Avoid burning or being around open flames today and through the weekend. We will remain above average the entire weekend, but Saturday will be a tad cooler in the mid-40s thanks to gusty northerly winds. Temperatures warm back into the mid-60s on Sunday with mostly sunny skies. A major temperature drop arrives next weekend and highs tumble down to the low 20s with a few chances for precipitation.
