Championship Sunday will be Frigid...

Well the game didn't go quite like I expected, but a win is a win and we are one win away from going back to the big dance.   Was I nervous? Sure, but these Saints find a way to win instead of a way to lose.   I'm thinking it's Brady vs Brees in the Super Bowl!!!

What a crummy day weather-wise as we saw no sunshine and the daytime high only reached 51.  Clouds will be slow to leave on Monday with sunshine returning for Tuesday and Wednesday.  If you have tennis in the morning, you'll need to dress for temps only in the 40s with highs struggling to top 50 later in the afternoon.  Tuesday warms to 55-60 with Wednesday 60-65 and Thursday near 70.  Another front approaches late Thursday.  Some showers could develop ahead of our next weak front on Friday with a much stronger front arriving late Saturday afternoon & evening.  Saturday's highs could reach 70+ before plunging into the 40s before daybreak on Sunday.   Tailgating next Sunday will be difficult as highs will stay in the 40s (maybe upper 30s!) with brisk northerly winds 20-30+.  Monday morning lows look to be in the 20s on both sides of the Lake before a warming begins on Tuesday.  The question is...will Monday's lows be 20-25 South Shore (15-20 North) or more like 28-32 South & 22-25 North?  Alaska has moderated from 50+ below to 25-30 below tonight.  Usually when Alaska starts to warm, it's a sign that the brutal cold is heading towards the lower 48.   One difference today is models are not as impressive with the second cold surge later next week.  Instead of developing a low down in the Gulf, models bring a surface low to our north getting us back into the warmer air sector.   I'm sticking to my thinking that the first surge will lay down a snow cover that will make the second surge even colder.  Bottom line, we have 5-6 days to get ready for a possible hard freeze NEXT Monday.  Each day we'll see if the computer guidance comes into some agreement/consensus.  Stay tuned!
