Yakima’s First 70 Degree Day is Coming Next Week

It was a little chilly today, wasn't it?

Not uncommon and it's weather we've been used to for the past few months, but after getting a slight tease of warmer weather, it was us, looking at the gloomy skies and putting our heavier jacket back on before we left the house.

Well, I'm here to say that today could quite possibly be the last time we had high temperatures in the 40s.

And, on top of that, according to the weather forecast, there's a great chance that after this weekend we'll skip the 60s and go straight to temperatures in the 70s.

Now, not forever, of course. But looking at the coming weather, we'll have a nice-ish weekend with temperatures in the 50s then, on Monday, March 24, they're expecting a high of 70 or even a little more.

That's a jump of over 10 degrees.

Now, as high air rises and cold air sinks, it can create wind so I wouldn't be completely surprised if, yes, the temperature says it's 70 for a high but it won't quite feel like it as there could be a breeze.

But with temperatures in the 70s, a breeze may not feel so bad as it is.

And it is expected to stay in the 70s at least for a few days, though on Wednesday of next week we might get some of that early springtime rain, but still with the warm weather.

Don't put away all that winter clothing just yet as you never know, but I'm looking forward to it.
