"January Thaw" This Weekend

A much-welcomed warming trend is on the way to the Mississippi Valley this weekend.

After the first nine days of January, temperatures are running about 17.1° below average.  That's easy to believe when you consider that seven of nine morning lows were below zero and one of those days saw high temperatures fail to reach zero.

However, that's going to change with highs today pushing close to 40° from the Quad Cities southward.  While we'll drop back to the low-to-mid-30s Saturday, Sunday is going to be very mild with strong southerly winds.



Much of the 5" of snow on the ground in the Quad Cities will be melting.
