We set a new record cold temperature for March on Wednesday of 10 degrees, but with the strong upper ridge headed our way this weekend, it begs the question, "Could we set a record low and a record high in the same week?"
Well, here are the record highs to beat Saturday and Sunday:
March 7: 83 degrees (1974)
March 8: 85 degrees (2000)
We are forecasting highs at Richmond International Airport this weekend in the upper 70's to near 80 degrees, which is several degrees shy of those records. Still, it is pretty incredible that we start out the week with a snowstorm and a foot of accumulation with record cold temperatures, and end up with near-record highs. We are definitely entering that tumultuous transition time from Winter to Summer, known as Spring!
