Our peak temperature of 32° in Evansville was 16° below the norm for this time of the year.

Our winds will shift southward overnight tonight into early Wednesday morning and while it won’t necessarily drive temperatures higher for the predawn hours, It will help keep temperatures from falling much further than where they currently stand.
