February is usually cold, but this year, it's breaking the rules.

The middle of the month is bringing unusually warm temperatures. The jet stream has shifted north, letting warm air take over. This means people in the state are experiencing temperatures in the 40s and 50s, which is quite unusual for this time of year.

High Pressure Brings Dry and Sunny Weather

High pressure is keeping the weather dry and sunny. Today, temperatures are soaring, even breaking records in some places. Eau Claire and La Crosse are feeling the heat, with temperatures way above average. A weak front will pass through tonight, but Sunday will still be mild. It's a perfect weekend to enjoy the outdoors.

Enjoy the Warmth While It Lasts

The warmth won't last forever. By Monday, things will start to change. The jet stream is shifting south, bringing back the storm track. By mid-week, winter storms could bring both rain and snow. So, enjoy the warmth while it lasts.

Weather Patterns Are Always Changing

Weather patterns are always changing. This weekend is a great example of how unpredictable they can be. It's a reminder to always be prepared for anything. Whether it's warm sunshine or winter storms, the weather can surprise us.
