We’re riding into 2022 with no precipitation recorded in Minden for the first third of January and nothing in sight. We’ve had the rare goose egg for January before, with records indicating two in a row in 1984-85. There’s still a lot of January left, though, so fingers crossed.
Expect partly sunny skies with a high temperature of 47 degrees today and the wind calm. The high on Wednesday is supposed to approach 60 as the temperatures bounce along through January.
