Luck of the Irish? Sun keeps shining
Tuesday’s 64 sets a new seasonal high
After Spokane reached a season-high 64 degrees on Tuesday afternoon, forecasters are calling for cooling back to the lower 50s, although mostly sunny skies should continue through the weekend.
A cold front passed across the region overnight and left some showers, but skies this morning broke clear and relatively mild with Spokane International Airport reporting 37 degrees at 7 a.m.
A more northerly air flow is expected for the rest of the week, along with seasonal temperatures. Highs should be near 50 and lows in the 20s. Mostly sunny skies are a good bet.
A bit of a warm up comes this weekend when highs go to near 60 on Saturday and Sunday.
Spring begins on Saturday with the vernal equinox at 10:32 a.m.
After warmer-than-normal months in January and February, March has continued the string coming in at 2.4 degrees above normal so far.
December was the only colder-than-normal month during the outgoing winter at 2.8 degrees below normal and shot of arctic air that sent the seasonal low to 1 degree on Dec. 8.
By comparison, January’s coldest low was 16 on the 7th and 8th of the month.

“Global warming,” what a crock. That guy Algore is so full of it…er, oops! Wait, it’s totally warm out!
I’m so confused; FOX News told me global warming is bogus science, but then why did I shed my solar-suit and put on this Speedo? I guess I’d better find a blog or website that reconfirms my preconceived view of the world while ridiculing the opposing viewpoint, ASAP!
PS: Does anybody know the URL for Mt. Vernon Cokehead Boy? He always makes me feel warm & fuzzy…
