Forecast – for Apr. 21, 2011

During the last week or so we definitely saw and felt the cool arctic high pressure build in, bringing fairly cool conditions.

Cool high pressure that brought plenty of sunshine and cool temperatures to our region over the last week or so looks as if it will begin to weaken and move off to the East around the middle of this week. This will have two effects on our weather. First we will see temperatures warm up
