TUESDAY WEATHER DISCUSSION (03/05/2024)

(OLNEY/NEWTON) As the slow-moving cold front pushes out of our downstate area later today, our chance of rain and thunderstorms will end this evening, with some colder air moving in by tonight behind the frontal system. Then we’re dry and still unseasonably warmer-than-normal tomorrow and Thursday before another chance of rain rolls in for Friday and Saturday. We’ll dry out again with some cooler air on Sunday and into the first of next week. Stay tuned and listen for weather updates and monitor a NOAA Weather Alert Radio for more forecast details and for possible weather alerts and/or warnings.

(OLNEY) Our warmer-than-normal weather continued Monday. The WVLN-WSEI National Weather Service Weather Station, at the south edge of Olney, recorded yesterday’s high temperature at 79 degrees, which tied the record high for March 4th, set 41 years ago in 1983. It’s the third time over the past few weeks that record highs have been set or tied in 2024.
