NBC 26 weather forecast

Are you ready for the 10th day this month with highs in the 50s? The well above average temperatures are sticking around! In fact inland towns may hit the low 60s, while lakeside will stay in the 50s, with winds off of the lake. Cloudy skies will dominate the day, with chances for a few light showers this evening. Widespread moderate rainfall will push in from the south, after 7pm. A few rumbles of thunder can't be ruled out as we will wake up to soaking rain on Wednesday. We could see up to 1" of rain in some area. Soak up the well above average temperatures now, because cooler air moves in behind the rain that's targeting us on Tuesday and Wednesday. Behind that system, cooler air funnels in and Thursday our temperatures crash throughout the day and into the 20s by Friday morning. Highs behind that, will be in the upper 30s to low 40s. Since our overnight lows will be back below freezing Thursday and Friday night, we can't rule out a chance of a wintry mix Friday. One model even hints at some accumulating snow. We will be keeping a close eye on this and fine tune the forecast for you as the system gets closer. This weekend we can expect the sunshine to return, with near average temperatures in the seasonable 40s. Long range temperature forecasts are keeping highs closer to average by the end of March. The average high temperature by the end of the month is 46.
