We have had some chilly mornings in our area at times over the last few days. But there hasn't been anything too chilly to this point in the season. That's set to change by the middle of next week.
But this weekend will be the complete opposite of chilly. Another Saturday with temperatures in the upper 80s. This time, temperatures may even tie or break a record! But Sunday, a front moves through, and this looks likely to really knock our temperatures down the most they have been so far this season.
Colder air is settling in behind a pretty strong cold front... the strongest of the season so far. Not only will this bring our high temperatures in the low to mid 60s for a couple of days in the afternoon, but our temperatures will likely fall quite a bit at night, as well.
While I think the days may change or waiver by 24-48 hours in some places, colder air is on the way. I am giving you a week's notice on some of this sensitive vegetation as you prepare for frost or freeze potential, depending on where you live.
I selected one of the models for next Wednesday morning, for example. While it may not get that cold everywhere on this particular date, it's an idea of the amount of colder air that will filter in behind it. Other factors going into frost are amount of cloud cover and wind that we have to deal with at that time. Those are details that will be ironed out during the coming days.
We aren't too far off from our seasonal averages in terms of normal frost and freeze in these locations. I seriously doubt we get there in the city and parts of the county this go around, but it will certainly be much colder by next week for a few of these locations. Prepare accordingly and we will keep you posted as the days get closer.
