February could end up being a top-five month for average temperatures.

That is according to Ed Shimon, who on the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, told Regional Radio temperatures will drop a bit starting Friday but another warm-up could be on the way next week before rain rolls through and cools things down.

 According to Shimon, February could end up a top five month for average temperature depending on how a warm-up next week turns out. We could see a record-high on Tuesday.

Closing out February and ushering in March, the trends are strong toward above-normal temperatures.

The remainder of March shows trends to equal chances of above and below-normal temperatures and precipitation but Shimon points out the above-normal signal is not far so there is the possibility the rest of March trends above-normal.

Shimon also notes an above-normal temperature signal remains for the remainder of the year.
