I would be surprised if it stayed in the upper 30's in the LSV but our western posters have a shot. Models do show it warming up in the evening though so record keeping will not show it if it happens for mid day temps.
Those temps on the models/their forecast are evening/nighttime highs. Temps during the day 38-43ish with steady rain. A nightmare IMO. More than half of the days this past winter were warmer than that for nooners.
Who do I blame for this Saturday being rainy and in the 30's and low 40's during the day. Spring Fling fail as it will be one of our colder daytime (9AM-3PMish) highs in the new year if the models are right. Either snow or be nice on weekends.
To the memory, May 8th and 9th MDT was T'ed up with snow. Over here it ended up being around 1/2" on the mulch. It also snowed one of those days at MDT in 1977.
MDT has not had a "cold" Feb since 2015 and that was really cold with an astounding -12.5 departure featuring the highest temp that month only reaching 42. Of the 9 Feb's since then, 8 have been above normal and one was a soft .6 BN.
Yep. In defense of the weather and timing, it was like this the last two years even earlier. Last year 11 of the last 15 days of Feb were 55 or over with a 63, 69, 71 and 67 mixed in. In 2022 five of the last 15 days of Feb were 62 or over.
