If it were like motion, our temperatures this week might pose a risk for whiplash as a roller coaster sort of pattern is setting up across Wisconsin and the Midwest.
Temperatures rose to a record high of 66 at the Sheboygan County Airport on Monday, spending an entire six hours in the 60s under sunny skies, to the delight of anyone able to get out and enjoy it. The average March 10th should experience a high of only 38 degrees, and it has been as cold as -2, last experienced in 2003.
With steadily declining temperatures behind a cold front, today’s high was already recorded at midnight when it was 52 degrees, and by midnight tonight we should dip below freezing, recovering to “only” 45 for a high on Wednesday…acknowledging that it’s still well above normal for this time of year.
By Friday, were it not for Lake Michigan’s immense cooling potential, we could have expected even warmer temps than yesterday with 70-degree weather moving into much of the state. Here, however, we’ll likely experience the upper 50s at best on brisk southeast winds, and after a rainy weekend, reality asserts itself as snow showers could dust the ground by Monday morning.
