Thu, Mar 26 - 8th and final day of our record-breaking streak

High: 86°F Low: 53°F Precip: 0” This morning is about as much of a summer morning as you could ask for. It is absolutely beautiful, warm, only a couple of clouds in the sky, and as pleasant as can be. We are now on the tail end of the high pressure system - enough to still enjoy the pleasant, warm mornings but to start cooling down in the afternoons, which is a pleasant change after 8 straight record-breaking days in a row.

Tue, Mar 24 - 6 consecutive broken records!!!

High: 78°F Low: 37°F Precip: 0” Yesterday was the 6th day in a row that we have broken the record high temperature! We did have a cold airmass pass by over the weekend which brought some clouds and cooler temperatures for Sunday and Monday.  Although the pronounced high pressure ridge isn't as pronounced as it used to be, we are still definitely feeling its effects and will be for a few days. Which means our run of 6 days of broken records has a potential to become a run of 8 or 9 days of broken records...

Fri, Mar 20 - Spring Equinox

High: 85°F Low: 38°F Precip: 0” Welcome to the Spring Equinox! Today, we have equal amounts of daylight and night. From here on out, days will be longer than nights. We have been under a large high pressure. As a result, temperatures have been high enough to break two high temperature records in a row. We will likely break another today and tomorrow with  Normal Record Snow College MHS KMTI High 55°F 75°F (2017) 84.5°F 87.6°F 84°F Low 30°F 9°F (1942) 38.1°F 34.3°F °F Precip 0” 0” (1915) 0” 0” 0” The high pressure will hang around for the next couple of days. However, it will weaken over the weekend with the temperature dropping into the 70's on Sunday and cloud cover for the beginning of next week. There also appears to be a cold airmass forming later next week that could have the potential to drop our temperatures significantly. Models have varied a lot in the last couple of days, so it's still unclear exactly how we'll be impact...
