Beautiful Start to the Week

What a beautiful day it has been here in the Commonwealth! Luckily, these favorable weather conditions will continue as students head back to WKU after an extended spring break.

High pressure will be the star of our forecast, as it works to keep our area dry, sunny, and seasonably warm! Ridging aloft, along with southwesterly winds at the surface will allow temperatures to break the 70° mark for Monday afternoon. Break out the hammocks and shorts, because tomorrow will definitely be a day that should be enjoyed outdoors!
