Spring Warmup After Frosty Night

0:00It's March 26th. Welcome to Vancouver News today, powered by AI. I'm Cori with the story. A quick moving storm brought showers and some thunder to the region on Wednesday, but it's already heading east. Thursday morning might see a few leftover showers and higher spots around Clark County before things clear up nicely. By midday Thursday, dry weather returns with highs in the upper fifties right on track for the season. But watch out after sunset as clear skies and calm winds set up perfect conditions for radiational cooling overnight into Friday morning, temperatures plunge into the thirties, bringing widespread frost of valleys and rural areas. Gardeners hold off on those tender annuals. We're not past the last frost yet, which averages mid April downtown and early to mid May in the suburbs. Friday and Saturday bring a welcome warm up with dry days and highs reaching the low to mid sixties, feeling like true spring. A brief bit of snow hit the Cascade passes Wednesday, but it won't affect us much.
