A warm front will move to our north this morning quickly followed by a cold front. The air behind the cold front is not cold as temperatures today will rise to the upper 60s which would be the warmest readings since early November. We should have some clearing by late in the day.

Unseasonably warm with some record high temperatures possible Monday through Wednesday as a Bermuda high pressure ridge brings a west-southwest flow of air. We should stay dry throughout this period.

A strong cold front on Thursday will cause showers with rather strong winds, temperatures in the 60s in the morning will fall to the 40s by sunset, some of the showers may be mixed with snow late in the day mainly to our north and west.

More seasonable temperatures Friday through the start of next weekend. We should stay mainly dry but there is a low chance of light showers Friday night.
