FIRST ALERT FORECAST: A picture perfect Saturday is in store! -Erik Dean

DISCUSSION: Wow, what a beautiful start to the weekend across the Coulee Region. Highs were in the upper 40s – low 50s and if you liked today, I really think you will like tomorrow as we will go back into the mid 50s with plenty of sunshine. This trend of nice weather will come to and end on Sunday as a cold front pushes through, and low pressure system scoots in from the south. This will do 2 things; 1) it will drop the temperatures for Sunday. 2) It will increase the precipitation chances. I think the majority of us will see rain but I cannot rule out a wintry mix across parts of the Coulee Region.

HOUR BY HOUR FORECAST: Here is how we get to our high; we’ll start the day off with temperatures in the mid 30s by 8 AM. As we roll into the afternoon hours we will see temperatures shoot up into the low to mid 50s with lots of sunshine in store. Clouds will pick up as we roll into the evening hours with temperatures going into the low to mid 40s.

NEXT 8 DAYS: Sunday’s high will drop substantially as the front I was talking about pushes through. We will stay in the 40s for Monday & Tuesday and increase the precip chances again Tuesday Night going into Wednesday Morning. Wednesday’s high will only be in the 20s. On Friday, which is the Joy of Sharing, we will see mostly cloudy skies with highs in the mid – upper 30s and THEN another front pushes through for next weekend with highs back into the upper 20s – low 30s.

Enjoy your Saturday!
