Today's Weather: Aloof

By Marcus Gilmer in Miscellaneous on Apr 21, 2010 1:30PM

Wednesday is toying with our emotions like they don't matter. After a burst of warmth last week, we seem to be regressing this week. Sure, we know last week's mild temps were abnormal for this time of year, but we'll also see temps tumble lower than average later today. We'll watch the mercury climb to near 60 in some spots, but then it'll do a 180 and head downward with some locations hitting the upper 40s by the evening. Why? According to Skilling, a "back door" cold front is to blame. Sounds nefarious to us. We're also not thrilled to hear about the rain predicted for this weekend. Wednesday, you've got a long way to go to catch up to Tuesday.
