Temperatures will be on a roller coaster ride over the next 7 days, with everything from mild air returning to another cold shot. The next week features a wide variety of temperatures. 

Wednesday's high temperatures reached record territory for the second straight day, but we had a dramatic temperature crash into Thursday morning. It was a 40-degree drop in a 12-hour time frame from 3:15 PM to 3:15 AM Thursday, the third-highest 12-hour temperature drop in March on record. 

Thursday will be breezy and cooler overall, with high temperatures only rising to the low 40s. 

A high wind threat arrives on Friday with winds gusting up to 55 mph at times. High wind watches will be in place all day Friday for all of northern Ohio, including Trumbull and Mahoning Counties. Friday will also feature some light snow and rain; flurries will work in early in the morning with some light rain to follow in the afternoon. Another batch of rain or snow showers is possible later in the day. 

This weekend will be calm and quiet, but cooler to start. Saturday's high temperatures will be somewhat seasonable, rising to the low 40s, but then taking a jump to the low 60s on Sunday afternoon. 

Another shot of cold air arrives early next week. Temperatures will fall out of the upper 30s on Monday, drop to the upper 20s on Tuesday, and remain in the 30s on Wednesday. Tuesday could be our coldest Saint Patrick's Day since 2004, and a top ten coldest temperature for the holiday on record.
