Marengo Weather: The Week Ahead

Mostly sunny and quiet. The high reaches 61°, nine degrees below the May average of 70°, with light south wind around 14 mph. UV climbs to a 7 by midafternoon, so a hat helps for longer time outside. Save the bigger outdoor plans for tomorrow. Tuesday brings the only warm day of the week before the front arrives.

The warm peak of the week. The high climbs to 77°, seven degrees above the May average, with south wind gusting to 23 mph as the front gathers. Rain chances rise to 39% by late afternoon and evening. Morning is the window for outside work. Wednesday loses 25 degrees of it overnight.

The afternoon stalls at 52°, eighteen degrees below the May average and the coolest day of the week. Overcast and breezy at 21 mph, with a slim 18% chance of light showers. The sweater goes back on. Thursday morning is colder still, so anything tender already in the ground needs a sheet over it before bed.

The coldest morning of the week. The low drops to 37°, five degrees above freezing and close enough to damage tender plants through radiative frost on clear, calm ground. Afternoon recovers to 61°, nine degrees below the May average, with overcast skies and light wind around 10 mph. The cold morning is the headline.

Showers redevelop through the day at 24% probability, with a chance of a heavier band by afternoon. The high holds at 61°, nine degrees below the May average, with wind at 18 mph. Cool and damp. Yard work waits for Saturday, when the air finally turns warm.

The recovery. The high climbs to 75°, five degrees above the May average, with light drizzle possible at 27% but nothing that should derail outdoor plans. Wind at 18 mph. The first truly warm Saturday in two weeks, and the morning low of 58° finally feels like spring instead of late March.

Warm and active. The high reaches 72°, two degrees above the May average, with south wind at 25 mph, the strongest of the week, and a 35% chance of scattered drizzle through the afternoon. Sunrise at 5:30, sunset at 8:09. The mild 55° morning is the first non-cold start in a week.
