While the normal temperatures for the Lakes Region are around 50 for highs and 30 for lows, the recent trend of extreme temperatures will continue

After a series of above normal temperature days, the pendulum swings the other way, stopping today for near normal temperatures before going below normal during the following three days. Highs during that time will be in the mid 40s with lows in the upper teens to low 20s.

Temps will then return to above normal on Tuesday with highs jumping back into the 60s.
