JAMESTOWN – Spring is in the air, as the La Niña pattern has settled in, and that is bringing much of the eastern half of North America above average temperatures
Rain will continue throughout the week this week, making quite the muddy mess out there. Beware of those muddy paws and shoes!
Records could very well be broken by the middle of the week with this warmth. We have a very good shot of smashing the record highs for Tuesday and Wednesday, which are both 58 degrees a piece, both set in 1994.
Enjoy this warmup as much as you can, as March is right around the corner, and March can often come and hit us like a ton of bricks.
We are still in Winter, mind you, and it’s likely not over yet.
