We haven’t been above 40 in over a week, so today’s temperatures should feel extra nice. Go out and hang some lights? South winds will pull up the milder air, and it’s possible that Bloomington could finish with a 50+ this afternoon. Highs will lag a little in Lafayette, at about 47 degrees. Municie should make it to 48, with 46 in Richmond. The sky should be friendly, with just a few high cirrus clouds, but you may notice that aforementioned southerly wind in the afternoon when it gets closer to 15 mph. Sunday will be drearier, and we’ll take a small hit on the temps, but they’ll still be close to average highs. No storms for tailgaters, but thick clouds will be moving in. Morning temps will be around freezing, with about a 5 mph wind. Expect an overcast sky Sunday night and Monday, with a few sprinkles or light showers possible. Tuesday and Wednesday look really good with temps into the 50s by Wednesday, and 60 possible by Thursday. That will be the peak, as a cold front crashes the party and brings a rain chance from Wednesday night into Thursday. A Friday free-fall looks likely, with temps starting around freezing, and into the 20s by evening. And there could be some snow. Aren’t you glad you have those lights up already?
