Meteorologist Myles Hendersonâs First Warning Forecast
From 40s to 70s⦠We will see lots of sunshine today, but it will be chilly with highs in the mid 40s, almost 10 degrees below normal for this time of year. It will be a bit breezy at times today with NE winds at 5 to 15 mph. Expect clear skies tonight with lows falling to the 30s and 20s.
Get ready for a big warm up next week. Temperatures will return to the low 50s on Monday, warm to the 60s on Tuesday, and climb to near 70 by Thursday. Sunny skies will continue for the first half of next week. Extra clouds will start to build in for the second half of the week, but rain chances remain low.

This is another tragedy that should have been prevented. As we covered in the 1982 Air Florida Flight 90 crash article, this is another event where negligence led to a disaster.
On Mar. 5, 1993, Palair Macedonian Airlines Flight 301 was scheduled to go from Skopje, Macedonia to Zürich, Switzerland.
Clearance for takeoff was given at 11:11 am. Twenty-eight seconds after clearance the plane was in the air. It was snowing and visibility was limited to 900 meters.

First Warning Forecast
Stepping into chilly air this weekend. Stunning this afternoon with bright blue skies, but there s a distinct chill in the air compared to just yesterday. 40s today, yet it ll feel even cooler due to a persistent northwest wind. Temperatures will fall at or below freezing tonight into Saturday morning.
A bright weekend filled with sunshine will compensate for the cool down. Highs near 50 Saturday and a touch cooler Sunday afternoon. The biggest change going forward is the absence of rain chances until later next week. Added to that, a big warm up with highs near 70 will precede those rain chances on Thursday.
