Discussion
A big warm up will commence today as southwesterly flow in the lower atmosphere intensifies ahead of the next cold frontal system. That front will generate showers around here later tonight and during much of Friday and there can be a couple of thunderstorms mixed in as well. Temperatures today should make it to the upper 60’s and then 70 degrees is possible by tomorrow afternoon for highs. Following the frontal passage tomorrow evening, it’ll turn colder for the weekend and each weekend day should feature some sunshine.
