Many plants have emerged or are emerging from their winter slumber. While many of our plants are well equipped to tolerate late freezes, some do so better than others. Since forewarned is forearmed, you may be interested in the following forecast.
Opening day snowflakes are possible with a very cold air mass early next week. Night-time temperatures may fall into the mid-20’s as well.
From the National Weather Service forecast discussion:
AN UNSEASONABLY COLD AIRMASS WILL THEN FILTER INTO THE REGION BEHIND
THE FRONT AS MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW ROTATES SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES THROUGH TUESDAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO SCATTERED SHOWERS
MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AND GIVEN FAIRLY COLD LOW LEVELS…WILL LIKELY
SEE ANY PCPN AT LEAST MIX WITH SOME SNOW SHOWERS AT TIMES. DRY
CONDITIONS AND MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES WILL THEN RETURN BY
WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE REGION.
