DAYTON — Lately, temperatures have been well below average.

Let’s use 37 degrees as a benchmark since the average or “normal” temperatures rise through February.

With that said, the Dayton International Airport has reported below-average temperatures for over two weeks.

Tuesday was the first time we were warmer than our average, reporting a high of 52 degrees at Dayton’s Airport.

The warmth was pleasantly welcomed after the dangerously cold temperatures.

Thankfully, we’re forecasting above-average temperatures through the middle of February, and the numbers look even warmer than yesterday.

Low temperatures are expected next Wednesday, which will drop only into the upper 40s and low 50s.

That’s an indicator of how warm our high temperatures can reach.

Expect high temperatures next Wednesday in the low to middle 60s.

There is still time for this to change, as we’re a week away.

However, this gives us hope of finally turning the corner heading into meteorological spring.
