Calm and beautiful rest of this week, and Friday could challenge records?

After a beautiful buit windy Monday, we hit a high here in the Triad area of 71F, first 70 degree day this year!. Today was a bit cooler as a dry cold front slipped on through. Wednesday should be a bit warmer with temps in the upper 50s to maybe even some low 60s across central NC.  As we get into Friday we should see yet another warm spring like day(although a bit breezy) here the GFS for Friday afternoon.

with surface pressure and 850mb temps and 10C over NC should translate to low to mid 70s across the state Friday. In fact heres the GFS and Euro High temps for Friday.

although they show us getting between 65 and 70, I think the models are a little underdone so Im going with 73 for Greensboro, and if so that would break our old record of 71 back in Feb 18th 2008. Upper 70s are even possible in south eastern NC. Also look at the nice 500mb ridge over the SE US Friday,

Just beautiful if you want to see warm weather in winter. By next weekend though we may see a cool down as another dry front slides by but more on that later.
