Spring is Here…Mid Week Warm-Up Expected

Clouds will be slow to dissipate today and that will affect how much we warm up. But we should be able to climb into the upper 60s to near 70 degrees by this afternoon. A cold front will move into the area Thursday with temperatures varying quite a bit from north to south across that front. For the area, highs will range from the 60s to lower 70s. Showers and thunderstorms are possible late Thursday night into Friday morning. A few strong storms can't be ruled out.
