TUESDAY WEATHER DISCUSSION (03/19/2024)

(OLNEY/NEWTON) With a high pressure centered over the Deep South today, a cold front will drop southward through the Upper Midwest. This combination will give us strong and gusty west/southwest winds today with a mostly sunny sky, but a few afternoon clouds mixed in. Then a little cooler air moves in as the front drops across our downstate area and as we stay dry and cool on Wednesday and Thursday, another frontal system will develop and bring us a slight chance of rain by Friday afternoon, all followed by a dry and cool weekend. We’ll see a warmup and some rain chances the first of next week. Stay tuned for updates and monitor a NOAA Weather Alert Radio for more weather forecast details.
