Much warmer the next few days, then cooler for the weekend...

The gusty breezes we've grown accustomed to lately will continue the next several days. They'll be out of the southwest through Friday, and that will help to boost temperatures well into the 70s each afternoon. A few locations may flirt with 80 on Friday. When it gets this warm this early, many folks ask "could that be a record?" No way now, as record highs the last four days of March are 90+!

Cold front arrives by Friday night...

A cold front will slide through the region Friday evening or night and usher in a big change in temperature for the upcoming weekend. More clouds will accompany the front, and we may see a couple of showers pop up by Friday evening. All indications are the front will settle south of us on Saturday, but a lot of low-level moisture will be present, meaning we'll probably have a lot of clouds to deal with and possibly a few light showers early Saturday morning. The air will gradually dry out over the weekend, and Sunday should offer quite a bit of sunshine. However, temperatures will be noticeably cooler, averaging in the mid 50s each afternoon and down near the freezing mark Sunday morning.

Early next week...

Temperatures will moderate to near seasonal values early next week (low to mid 60s), but then another cold front will arrive later Tuesday. This will usher in another brief shot of cooler weather Wednesday/Thursday.
