Original Story
After the Lakes Region has experienced warmer than normal temperatures, the temperatures do a 180 and now will mostly below normal for the next several days.
The National Weather Service says that today’s high of around 60 is right at normal, but then temperatures do a nosedive with highs only in the low to mid 50s while lows will be at or below freezing over the next five days.
The coldest morning of the period appears to be Friday, when temperatures are expected to drop into the mid to upper 20s across some rural valleys.
The change in temperature will not help drought conditions as little to no precipitation is in the forecast during the period.
