Sky Conditions: Overcast/Partly Cloudy
The Midwest has seen a dramatic increase in Temperature over the past four days. This started Friday as temperatures were in the mid 30s and then Saturday and Sunday temperatures reached upper 30s and low 40s. This is due to a change in wind patterns that is bringing warm air from the south. The huge dip in the air mass, figure 1, below is bringing very warm continental air form Texas and Mexico.
Expect temperatures to continue to rise in the next couple of days. Tomorrow is expected to be 57°F and sunny skies. This is a time to monitor rivers because of the melting of snow. However, the Midwest didn't receive a heave snowfall this winter making the danger of flooding not as violent.
