Lawrence’s weather forecast calls for another springlike day in the low 60s – a sharp contrast to the much-celebrated Groundhog Day forecast.

“Punxsutawney Phil did see his shadow earlier this morning, which, according to him, means six more weeks of winter,” said Jennifer Schack, 6News meteorologist. “But I’ll tell you what, it doesn’t look like it today. It will be a beautiful day.”

Friday won’t be quite as warm as today, but will still be above average, with the high reaching 49 degrees, she said. Friday will also bring a few more clouds and winds from the northwest at 8 to 15 mph, she said.

“There may be a sprinkle, with some thicker clouds on Friday,” she said.
