Spring is in the air!

Spring has finally arrived in the Northern Plains! ;)

Temperatures on Tuesday reached the 60 degree-mark for the first time since November 3rd, 2008, when we hit 66° F.

The official high at the airport Tuesday hit 64° F and even at this late hour (2:00am) we are still sitting at 45°.

It's been great enjoying the mild temperatures and they should continue through, at least, through the next few days as this ridge slowly slides east across the plains. Slightly cooler temperatures will come this weekend, but a broad ridge will build across the plains again next week which will continue temperatures in the 50's and 60's.

Our next target is to get our dewpoints into the 50's and 60's! Some thunder would be nice, as well.
