Finally, Temperatures Are Above Average

While it's still early May, Monday's high of 76° and the low of 49° pushed our temperatures above average for the month.

It's still too early to tell if we'll continue this trend through the end of the month, but we'll definitely be warmer than average for the next few days.



Today, tomorrow, and Thursday's highs in the mid-70s to around 80° and lows in the 50s will add to the above average temperatures for May before we cool down for the weekend.

January 2013 ended up being 2.6° above average and that was followed by three consecutive months with cooler than average temperatures:  February (-0.1°), March (-7.7°), and April (-2.8°).

After this Mother's Day weekend cool down, more warmth will build next week.  The red lines on this forecast map shows warm air pushing back into the Midwest early next week.



Enjoy your week!
