Discussion

A major warm up arrives this week and it will begin in earnest on Tuesday as temperatures climb well up into the 70’s tomorrow afternoon and this warmer-than-normal stretch of weather should continue right through the end of the work week. In fact, temperatures later this week will likely climb well into the 80’s and some spots may flirt with the 90 degree mark for highs on Thursday afternoon. A cool front arrives late Friday and it could be accompanied by showers and thunderstorms.
