As we inch closer to meteorological spring on March 1, temperatures are rising.
The deep freeze is behind us, and warmer-than-average temperatures will allow us to thaw out. Highs today will top out in the low/mid 50s this afternoon. Expect a breezy day, with wind gusts up to 25 mph, adding a bit of a brisk feel.
You might catch a case of spring fever by Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs will climb into the mid-to-upper 50s on Tuesday and near 62°F on Wednesday, making Wednesday the warmest day of the week.
Be sure to have the umbrella on standby since rain chances will return by midweek. A slight chance of rain Tuesday morning could bring a brief wintry mix, but little impact is expected for the morning commute. Skies will become clear by the afternoon, with plenty of sunshine and warmer temperatures.
Wednesday will be another nice day before a cold front brings the best chance for rain in the evening. Don't forget your raincoat and umbrella if you have plans after work or dinner reservations. A few lingering showers may stick around into early Thursday before temperatures dip into the 40s by the afternoon.
