Friday, October 15th

Good morning! We had a roller coaster ride last evening with our temperatures. At 6:30 p.m. we had fallen to 17 degrees after having a high of 27. By 9:30 p.m., we had dropped all the way to 6 degrees. Yes! Six degrees!

At that time, I said good night to my outdoor thermometer and headed to bed with the thoughts of below zero temperatures. I snuggled deep under the covers and turned on my electric blanket excited to wake up to some rather chilly temps.

Well, 6 degrees is as cold as we got. By 3:30 a.m., the clouds has started rolling in and it warmed up to 13 degrees. At 6:00, when I finally rolled out of bed, it had warmed to 18 degrees. So much for our first below zero temperature of the season!

However, we may have another shot at sub zero temps tonight and Saturday night. If the skies clear, we could be around 5 below tonight and again on Saturday.

Highs today and tomorrow should be between 20 and 30 degrees with no snow in the forecast. Sunday and Monday will see highs around 30 degrees.

The extended forecast will be interesting, as the NWS believes some ridging will build in by the middle of next week and bring a little warming to the Interior with highs in the mid 30's.

Temperature: 18 degrees
Skies: Cloudy
BP: 29.90 and steady
RH: 74%
DP: 11.5
Winds: Calm
Sunrise: 8:44 a.m.
