thank you. Shea. I look out the window a lot here. First of all, the Mississippi River is a little higher at 6.4 feet. As you look at the clouds, you can see that when there are clouds at night, the temperatures don't drop as much, but a lot of this cloud that's expected to move in with these temperatures will drop tonight. On the other hand, look at where we are now. We're in his mid-to-late 60s. It was a truly wonderful day. But did you notice the wind? That means we were having very sustained winds of 20 to 28 miles per hour right now. But look at the gusts of wind. They had wind gusts up to 36 miles per hour. Therefore, the recommendations regarding small-scale crafting are valid. But when the wind blows from the north, the air gets really dry. The idea is that the clouds will disappear, the wind will weaken, and the temperature will drop. He only has one day left in spring. Tomorrow 1006, arriving tomorrow night. It will still feel like winter tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, Easter Sunday is March 31st, and you're planning to go, but how did they come up with that date? Well, today is after the vernal equinox, after the first full moon. It's the first Sunday of So the vernal equinox or spring is tomorrow, the first full moon will be on the 25th, and Easter will be on March 31st. I thought you'd like to know. So here we are. I'm looking into freeze warnings. This is the area on the north side of the North Shore. From 3am to 8am. This will not result in a long freeze. Probably about an hour. But you got blueberries. you want to protect them. Beautiful flowers have bloomed. Yeah. It can get messy. However, there are some plants that are very hardy, so don't worry about pansies, petunias, or even snaps. They are getting cold. It's the other one, the hibiscus-like one, that you're worried about. And it's not going to affect the azaleas. As you know, it is already blooming. Here you go. Protect plants, pets, and people. Okay. Let's take a look at that cloudiness here. There are clouds even at night, and the temperature does not drop. So we have to observe those clouds. But models show the clouds are moving. And you say, “Oh, it looks like it's going to rain.” The air is too dry. 2 points again in the 30 seconds. So look where the freeze warning is displayed. Look at this, you can see that the wind is really blowing along the coast. Look at the Bowie 39 showing 31 mph. So tonight, let's go along the coast. yes. Tomorrow there will be a small scale craft awareness exercise. The tidal range is pretty good, about a foot to a foot and a half. So here we are. We're going hour by hour this evening. We are in the 50's. The wind was still blowing. And when you look at the morning sky, it will be sunny and the temperature will drop. Granted, the temperatures will be in the mid-30s, and there may be some frost if it doesn't freeze on the North Shore, but then it's high temperatures, low 60s. Tomorrow we will greet Wednesday morning with sunshine. It's not that cold, from the low 30s to near 50 degrees by the lake. So your high temperature on Wednesday will be near 70 degrees. It's going to be a great day. Looking at the first warning from W DSU, it looks like spring will arrive tomorrow night and Wednesday will be pretty nice. It will rain on Thursday.
